HOW THE KITCHEN CYCLE WORKS
HOW THE KITCHEN CYCLE WORKS
From the scraps you'd normally throw away to soil your garden can use — in one quiet loop, on your benchtop. No plumbing, no collection day, no waiting for a council bin.
FOUR STEPS, ONE LOOP
1. Prep
Trimmings, peels, and leftover scraps go straight from the chopping board into the FC50. No sorting rituals, no separate caddy.
2. Process
Close the lid and let it run — a typical mixed load runs overnight. Scraps in at night, PlantMix by morning: a light, dry material that keeps odours in check, at a fraction of the original volume.
3. Store and mature
Collect your PlantMix and let it rest. The NAMU NAMU Compost Bin is designed to store and mature it cleanly until you're ready.
4. Return to soil
Mix the matured PlantMix into garden beds, pots, or planters. What started as kitchen waste finishes as something your plants can use.
NO INSTALLATION. NO PLUMBING. NO MESS.
The FC50 sits on your benchtop and plugs into a standard outlet. There's nothing to connect to your sink, nothing to fit under the counter. A 1kg activated carbon filter keeps odour contained while it runs, so the whole process stays discreet — quiet enough for an apartment, simple enough for everyday use.
WHAT TO EXPECT, HONESTLY
Drier scraps can finish in around five hours; a typical mixed load runs overnight, and wetter food simply takes longer — that's normal, not a fault. The carbon filter lasts around six months before it needs replacing, at roughly $30. We'd rather you know this upfront than discover it later — a cycle you understand is one you'll keep using.
