Why Every Kitchen Needs a Waste Composter
Share
Food waste makes up 22% of U.S. landfills, emitting harmful methane gas. A countertop composter like the MB12 or MB4 offers an effortless solution:
-
Reduce trash bags by up to 30%
-
Create garden-ready compost in hours (not months)
-
Eliminate odors with built-in carbon filters
3 Must-Have Features in a Kitchen Composter
1️⃣ Speed Matters: Look for models with 24-hour composting cycles (vs. traditional 3-month piles). 2️⃣ Odor Control: Activated carbon filters (like our MB Series Filters) prevent smelly kitchens. 3️⃣ Compact Design: Ideal units fit under cabinets (≤16" tall) with dishwasher-safe bins.
Pro Tip: Maximize Your Composter’s Lifespan
-
Balance greens & browns: Add coffee grounds (nitrogen) with shredded paper (carbon).
-
Empty weekly: Prevent moisture buildup that attracts fruit flies.
-
Use compost ASAP: Nutrient levels peak within 2 weeks of processing.
