Food Scrap Recycling Systems

Solving global warming takes more than just trees

In less than a year, the at-home food scrap recycling system Mill has helped to keep more than a million pounds of food out of landfills and now, the next-generation Mill is ready to make even more of an impact. This faster, smarter and quieter version of the system was created to tackle a huge food waste problem in the United States, all the while offering a useful way for the average person to turn kitchen scraps into food for farms and gardens.

The new Mill can process a pound of wet food scraps in 2.5 hours, and it can process 40 pounds of wet food scraps before the bin needs to be emptied—which makes it a low-maintenance solution to fighting food waste at home. And with two million square meters of coconut charcoal and 41 decibels, the system reduces unpleasant smells and sounds.
