After IFA 2024 event in Berlin, GEME team get a lot of inquiries and partnership cooperation. Some of the people ask us, there is a new brand called Soilkind also in the IFA exhibition. When comparing the Soilkind and GEME composters, both offer efficient ways to turn organic waste into compost but vary in their technology and functionality. We will have a detailed commonalities and differences breakdown to compare and check.
Ever wondered how the seemingly indestructible wood and plant material around you eventually decomposes? The answer lies in the incredible complexity of lignin—one of the toughest organic compounds found in nature. But what’s even more shocking is how some extraordinary microbes have evolved to break it down! Let’s dive into this fascinating process of lignin degradation and the key players involved.
In recent years, increased environmental awareness has driven many individuals to adopt sustainable lifestyles. Home composters have become a popular solution for managing kitchen waste, leading to a significant rise in market demand. According to the 2023 BioCycle Nationwide Survey on Residential Food Waste Collection Access, 14.9 million U.S. households now have access to food waste collection through 400 programs across 710 communities. Since 2021, there has been substantial growth in these programs, with options for curbside collection including opt-in, standard, or mandatory participation.
When comparing traditional composting to the GEME electric composter, both methods offer unique advantages for managing organic waste. Traditional composting relies on natural decomposition and requires outdoor space, time, and regular maintenance, making it ideal for larger gardens or farms. In contrast, the GEME composter uses modern technology to accelerate the process, breaking down the food scraps quickly, it simulates compost pile in a box and is suitable for indoor use in urban environments. While traditional methods are more cost-effective, GEME provides convenience and speed for busy households looking to compost with minimal effort.
Composting is the process of breaking down organic waste—like food scraps, leaves, and yard trimmings—into nutrient-rich material that can be used to improve soil health. It’s a natural recycling method that turns what would otherwise be trash into valuable fertilizer for plants.
In terms of sustainability, composting plays a key role by reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills, which in turn cuts down on methane emissions—a potent greenhouse gas. It also helps enrich the soil, making it better at retaining water and nutrients, which is essential for farming and gardening. Composting is an easy, eco-friendly way to recycle organic waste and contribute to a greener planet.
Composting without attracting rats requires some specific strategies, as rats are often drawn to food waste and warm, sheltered spots. Here are several ways to reduce the risk of attracting rats to your compost pile.
Bokashi is an effective method for turning food waste and organic matter into a valuable soil amendment, often categorized as a form of composting. Unlike traditional composting, Bokashi uses anaerobic fermentation, which means the process occurs without the need for oxygen. The outcome of Bokashi usually called compost tea, it is kind of liquid contains a lot of good bacteria and nutrient.
Anaerobic composting is a method of breaking down organic materials in an environment without oxygen. Unlike aerobic composting(aka hot composting), which relies on oxygen, anaerobic composting uses special microorganisms that work in oxygen-free conditions to decompose organic waste.
For most of the daily left over, it takes around 6 to 8 hours to breakdown the waste. Check this uncut 7 hours video.(BTW, none of our competitors dare share such live video to public)
