In line with the latest generation of composters, the ‘garden composter’ combines the efficiency and practicality of composting with the creation of nutrient-rich soil.
The “new generation” keyhole gardens includes a raised planter that is accessible to everyone. The garden is easy to maintain thanks to the compost produced on site. They provide green spaces in the heart of cities, cultivated and brought to life by residents.
Food waste is turned into compost, which directly nourishes the soil, thus avoiding unnecessary transport and storage. The compost juice is naturally absorbed by the soil. The solid part of the compost can be recovered and spread on crops.
The keyhole garden has real educational value: it raises awareness of food waste in a fun way by replicating the cycle of life.
Although useful, collecting organic waste by truck generates CO2 emissions and additional traffic. On-site composting eliminates this need and is a much more environmentally friendly alternative.
Our soils need organic matter to restore their vitality and fertility.
Organic waste is pre-composted on site and then sent to local composting platforms so that the compost can be used in local agriculture.
On-site pre-composting avoids significant costs associated with collection or transport. In waste treatment, logistics is often one of the most significant cost items.
By pre-composting on site, you optimise by increasing volumes and reducing collection frequency.
