Composting food waste when you live in a small flat with no garden and no balcony can be tricky. There's the wormery route, but believe me, it isn't always as easy as you think. And not all your guests will appreciate sharing your lounge with hundreds of wiggling pets.
Which is why Compo, the prototype composting bin from Oliver Ling, is so clever.
Sleek, well-designed and simple, the Compo sits in your kitchen inconspicuously, consuming your food waste and producing not only rich compost but biogas.
This gas is collected into bottles inside the Compo which are then collected (via a biogas powered truck of course) in exchange for money - about £8 per bottle.
Who knew your orange peel and stale bread was so useful?
P.S. Like this? Then you'll love this brewery-powered brewery.
