![]() ![]() The Lomi product that I just saw advertised makes me extremely interested for the deduction of odor. Now because we have 2 bins it minimizes the amount it had to be taken out which maximizes the smell. It attracts animals) we compost all vegetation, egg shells, fish skin etc in the back yard. So (bones, chips, crackers, animal biproducts etc cannot go into a compost. We use one for everything to go to our backyard compost and a second one for everything that cannot go in the backyard. ![]() Now my household personally has 2 bins countertop. So it had been our responsibility to take care of our compost at least partly. Everyone has a smaller version on their countertop or under the sink that they fill up in small compostable bags then drop the bag in the roadside bucket. We can put anything from bone to beans in our compost buckets that get picked up once a week. I live in BC Canada and here we have a composting program. I just wanted to expand on my own experience. I might be moving soon to a 1-bedroom myself and have considered getting one of these as well. Anyways, I think that it might be worthwhile for your purpose. I know you meant this post as a question, not really discussion but it really got me thinking about that so I wanted to share those thoughts. Or on the opposite end a composting program never gets implemented and then it's everyone's individual responsibility to compost whether they have the means or not to acquire one of these. ![]() Then there would be a ton of e-waste as a result that would not have been necessary. I can't help but imagine buying something like this, and in 10 years scratching my head wondering what to do with it if my town finally starts a composting program. I worry these consumer products will start popping up as a crutch in the absence of proper government waste management programs. That said I have a larger concern that isn't really related to their use and/or performance. I think these products are really cool pieces of innovation. I won’t be perfect, but I want to help and this seems like a good step because it’s not a radical life change. As well as the added fact that we won’t have to take out the trash nearly as much and there won’t really be an odor from it since all food waste would go into the composter - but it all sounds too good to be true and I’m a total novice so I don’t really understand everything. I’d be willing to meet in the middle and use compostable plates with this machine. I’m a zero waste beginner and my husband, while not against it, even though we have a dishwasher, buys paper plates. As well as the upkeep of it all in general. I live in a tiny apartment and have 0 outdoor space and the idea of worms in my apartment kinda makes me cringe. Lomi is even supposed to be able to compost biodegradable plates and other things of that nature. Their settings range from 3 hours to 24 hours. They both haven’t come out yet, but they’re supposed be all electric composting countertop machines that claim to not use much electricity either. ![]()
