What is a FOODCYCLER

By utilizing cutting-edge technology, a FoodCycler™  can transform organic waste into a soil amendment right in our own homes. The end product claims to be free from bacteria and weed seeds and food-borne pathogens are eliminated in the process.

Each "cycle" of composting in the FoodCycler™  takes approximately 5 to 9 hours and uses only 0.8 to 1.3 kWh of electricity. Each FoodCycler™ is estimated to divert at least 2 tonnes of food over its expected lifetime. 

The FoodCycler™ uses a carbon filtration system which eliminates odours, leaving the end process completely odourless - no stinky smells while composting, and no more stinky smells in your garbage! 

The FoodCycler™ thrives on a balanced diet and can digest a variety of food scraps including: vegtables, fruit, meat, fish, meat/fish bones, coffee grinds (including filters), beans, seeds, legumes, eggs/eggshells, and shellfish! In small amounts the FoodCycler™ can also grind sauces, dressings, gravies, pork/lamb bones, dairy products, hard pits (avacado, peach etc.), jellies/jams/puddings, and starches!
