Compostela
Project Overview
About
Compostela is an electrical home composter that optimises the degrading process through aeration of the compost, temperature control and the addition of aerobic bacteria. It contains several layers of activated carbon filters, making it odour-free and reducing the volume of the inserted waste by seventy per cent – generating a fertiliser rich in nutrients. It allows users to manage the disposal of organic waste at home, reducing the volume of waste sent to landfills and relieving pressure on municipa waste-disposal systems.

I design products, starting from the identification of the problem or opportunity, up to the refining and finishing of the end product. I started a research two years ago about food waste and the result was my project Compostela and now i’m developing it.
