Next-Gen Food Scraps Bins

Mill is a kitchen food scrap bin that reinvents the way individuals discard food waste and it is positioned as a partial solution for "the global problem food waste creates"—it is estimated that food is responsible for approximately eight percent of global emissions.

Mill is not only high-tech but it also embraces the membership model. The kitchen food scrap bin is equipped with automated technology that shrinks food scraps through dehydration and then grinds them up. This, of course, reduces any pesky odors that are often associated with having a green bin at home. The membership then allows for the scraps to be sent back to farms where they can be upcycled and act as fertilizer. Mill also boasts personalized impact tracking as a way to engage and keep consumers dedicated.

Mill is not to be confused with a compost bin. The technology is not composting but dehydrating the food.
