Turning our food into garden food in 24 hours!

 

We hear all the time about how much food we send to the landfill each year. Composting can help with reducing wastage, but when you live in a small home, an apartment, or on a property that doesn’t have the space for an outdoor compost system, responsible food disposal can be a challenge.

In an attempt to solve the problem of sending food waste to the landfills and making composting easier and more accessible to everyone, Whirlpool has created Zera – a food recycler that automatically recycles 95% of food scraps into ready-to-use fertilizer in just 24 hours.

Using a combination of a plant-based additive, mixing blades, oxygen, heat and moisture, the Zera Food Recycler breaks down a week’s worth of food waste in 24 hours to create homemade fertilizer for the lawn, plotted plants and garden.
