CES 2017: Whirlpool Zera Food Recycler Turns Waste Food Into Fertilizer

Whirlpool Zero Food Recycler

Biological or organic waste generated in households represents more than a third of all waste. The average American family throws away as much as 180 kilograms of food annually! But the Whirlpool Zera Food Recycler household appliance does not allow this food to go to waste. It turns biological waste into high-quality natural fertilizer.

What is garbage to one person is fertilizer to another. Annually in the world we throw away 1.3 billion tons of food. Only in Slovenia the annual waste becomes 150 thousand tons of food, as much as 48 percent of which is thrown away by households. So that this food wouldn't go to waste, it is Whirlpool developed a household appliance for home use Zero Food Recycler, which turns discarded food into natural fertilizer. For the sake of the vegetable supplement, the waste (you should not put only bones and bones in the appliance) shrinks to a third of the original volume.

Until now, you have had two options regarding bio-waste. Either you threw the discarded food in the bin for biological waste or dropped it on compost. The first option is the most convenient, but you don't have any of it yourself, the second is time-consuming, as you can wait forever for the fertilizer. W Labs – an incubator from Whirlpool Corporation – found a great one an alternative to composting. If you want to be more ecologically aware, the Zera Food Recycler is definitely a step in the right direction. You have to pay for it 1130 euros.
