Kitchen food scraps can build up bacterial odor quickly when collected in a solid plastic, metal or ceramic pail. The reason is, food waste creates heat and moisture that cannot escape when placed in these closed containers. Many modern collection pails contain charcoal filters or other devices to help mask the odor but do little to slow the “rotting process.”

Biobag’s ventilated bucket lined with a Biobag waste bag is the world’s leading system for presorting food waste in households and small kitchen. The bucket fits the SmallSHOP and 2-3 gallon Biobag waste bags.

Luckily more and more households are already using our set to collect their food-waste with, and many governments and municipalities around the world have also started using and distributing our buckets and food waste bags to drive the behavior change needed to fight climate change. We hope you will too!

The ventilated sides and lid allow the moisture to evaporate and the food waste to dry out. This means that the waste does not rot, unpleasant odors are reduced, and the weight is reduced by 7% to 12% over 3 days which reduces handling costs significantly.  

Surprisingly, organic waste is among the top 5 threats to global warming, and because organic waste and left-over foods make up more than 44% of all waste produced globally each year, it is one of the most important behaviors to change. It sadly adds up to almost 1 billion tons of organic waste each year, which could, and should, be converted into biogas or composted into nutritious compost, to give back to the Bioeconomy.

By making small changes, like starting to collect household food waste, you can reduce organics going to landfills and create positive environmental impact.
