EcoinnovationAny form of innovation that seeks environmentally sustainable solutions.

EcodesignThe systematic incorporation of environmental aspects into product design in order to reduce the bad effects of the product on the environment throughout its life cycle.

CompostingThe transformation of organic waste into a 100% natural fertilizer, called compost, under controlled conditions by imitating nature.

On-site compostingIn situ recycling of organic matter to convert it to a 100% natural organic fertilizer for orchards, gardens and plants.

ComposterA container with usability features which are suitable for the

comfortable practice of on-site composting.

HYon-site composting?W

It is estimated that every European citizen produces 1.5 kg of waste per day, of which 40% is organic matter, mainly food scraps and garden waste.

On-site composting is a good way to practice everyday ecology at home, at work, at school and in gardens, as well as on paved terraces and even balconies.

Composting reduces the weight and volume of organic waste by around 70%

Easy odourless composting process which does not need energy to operate and is maintenance-free

Very rewarding in every sense, fosters environmental education and increases the percentage of recycling of other types of waste

Simplification of waste separation in the kitchen and garden management, as there is no need to dispose of organic waste outside the premises

Organic waste containers do not overflow and the sidewalks are not littered with the remains of pruning, leaves or grass clippings because they are all recycled within the garden

Reduction in the cost of waste management, as well as in the enviromental impact of large industrial waste treatment plants

Self creation of high quality 100% natural compost from your own organic waste

Saving on the purchase of garbage bags and chemical fertilizers, as well as a drop in water consumption in the garden, as the compost improves drainage and retains the water better

No need to collect, or deal with, thousands of tons of organic waste, thus reducing the movement of trucks and traffic problems arising, and so decreasing environmental pollution in the city and reducing the volume of waste in municipal waste collection

So you are more than just a consumer for us!

PROducer + conSUMER = PROSUMER

Some time ago we started working in this direction: • Defining a new generation of composters together • Eco-designing the most functional and environmentally-

friendly solutions• Designing mechanisms to stimulate the participation in our

"on-site composting site” • Creating content for everyone, from beginners to the most

advanced and specialized • Designing, manufacturing and commercialising our

composters ourselves

Background: RRR is the composter we created in 2007 and has been the foundation that has enabled us to take this technological next step and produce the new series of combox composters.

all the shapes and sizes (in litres) you can imagine ...

Modules of 150 litres allow you to design your own composter in shape and size. combox is a fully modular and compartmentable system, so that you can also convert sections into an integrated urban vegetable garden or storage for dry leaves or gardening tools.

How to turn waste into resources? In two ways: we produce composters made from plastic from the urban waste selective collection and other post-consumer materials and, in turn, our composters turn organic waste into compost.
