Lomi Smart Waste Kitchen Composter

Even the most conscientious of us will end up with some food waste, unless we start eating our veg peelings and egg shells, all these surplus items contain precious nutrients that your garden and pots plants will greatly appreciate, so why send them to the landfill.

The Lomi Smart Waste Kitchen Composter allows you to easily compost your kitchen waste without stepping a foot outside or dealing with messy and smelly bins. The Lomi is about the size of a bread maker, it actually reminds me of a baby bottle steriliser, it will sit pretty on your worktop or can be tucked away in a cupboard, and no one will know of its contents. It has been designed to ensure that no nasty smells are created and pest like insects and rodents aren’t encouraged to come and investigate. It was interesting to discover that when organic waste (i.e. food) goes to landfills, this is one of the leading causes of greenhouse gas emissions globally, so it’s good to know that up to 80% of your waste can go into Lomi including fruits, veg, bread, animal products, plant waste (dead headed flowers for example) and Lomi approved products and packaging.

It is super easy to use, it will require mains power and uses 60kWh of energy per 100 cycles which equates to 220 lbs of food waste diverted from landfill and 18lbs of methane emissions avoided. Once you have added your food waste all you need to do is push the button on the front the internal sensors then simulate and accelerate the composting process by using heat and agitation to produce nutrient-rich output in as little as 4 hours, its like magic. You can then use the nutrient rich soil to treat your indoor plants, your garden, or just your green bin depending on the mode you select. When active it is reasonably quiet, it can make some crunching or cracking noises depending on what you have in there but this is normally just at the start. As someone who is obsessed with house plants and will chastise my partner for throwing a yogurt pot in the general waste this is a dream for me, it’s certainly not a cheap investment but it does a fantastic job at quickly composting your waste in a clean and fuss- free way.
