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 your board into the FC50. No sorting rituals, no separate caddy.
2. Process
Close the lid and let it run. In around five hours, the FC50 dries and breaks down your scraps into PlantMix — a light, odour-free material, a fraction of the original volume.
3. Store and mature
Collect your PlantMix and let it rest. The upcoming NAMU NAMU compost bin [TBC] 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 process faster; very wet food takes a little longer. 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.
