I turned food and plastic waste into something useful 🌱♻️
Genuinely one of the coolest ways I’ve seen to close the loop. Food waste → Food Grounds → compost → back into growing your own food. Perfect for Earth Day 🌍
My friends over at sent me their food recycler, so we put it to the test. Everything from food scraps to garden waste went straight in.
What surprised me most was how simple it is. It runs quietly, doesn’t smell, and breaks everything down into clean, nutrient-rich, shelf-stable Food Grounds.
After the grounds had time to break down, we mixed them into our garden beds and started replanting. I added custom plant markers and a small trowel I 3D printed from recycled plastic to finish it off.
Really cool way to rethink what waste can become.
