Sepura approached us with the challenge of reinventing the humble garbage disposal unit, or “garburator”. Conventional garburators whisk away small bits of food directly into the sewage system, sending it to landfills and incinerators. As kitchens get smarter and consumers become more conscious of climate and environmental issues, they are looking for better ways to dispose of compostable food matter. More households are turning to composting, but many people are still discouraged by the odor as well as nuisances like fruit flies. We worked with Sepura to design a new type of garburator that could securely store any compostable food matter until the user is ready to dispose of it or put it in the garden plot. You can learn more and order one from the Sepura website

What makes
Sepura different?
Unlike a conventional garburator that sends food waste to the sewage system, Sepura redirects it to a collection bin under your sink. If it’s compostable and can fit through the pipe, Sepura can handle it.

When full, just pull
out and pick up
When the LED lights indicate that the bin is full, you can pull open the Sepura drawer and remove the collection bin, emptying it into a composting barrel outside or into your garden plot. The drawer construction is designed to prevent odors and relieve your kitchen of pesky fruit flies.

Doing double duty
Everything has a second function. The carbon filter cover doubles as a lid for the collection bin while you’re taking it outside. The bin also has four slits at the top edge to secure a plastic bag liner if you prefer.
