Nowadays, food waste has become a serious environmental issue on our planet. In total, the world’s population wastes around 1.4 billion tons of food every year, of which just the U.S. alone discards nearly 80 billion lbs. (40 million tons), which equates to more wasted food than any other country in the world. Moreover, much of those 1.4 billion tons of food waste ends up in landfills, for which that organic waste material then consequently generates methane, which a potent greenhouse gas that greatly contributes to climate change. Now, any Eco-conscious person that’s looking to reduce their food waste has probably heard of composting. This is basically the act of recycling food scraps and other organic waste into compost, which is then used for fertilizing the soil to help plants grow healthier overall. Still, no matter if you compost food waste by digging holes in your backyard or by using a standard composting bin, there’s still the big odor problems that commonly come with the process of composting food waste and other organic material. On that note, if you’re looking for a smart composting solution that doesn’t come with all the bad odors you’d normally find on traditional composting methods, then the Reencle Food Recycler is exactly what you’ve been looking for.
The Reencle Food Recycler is an innovative smart contacless food composter for at-home use that’s capable of composting up to 2 lbs. of food waste in up to 24 hours maximum, and then give back 90% to nature with its organic additive mix, all while its 3-Step Filter System controls moisture and odor during the entire process.
Best of all, this at-home food composter is fairly easy to use, as users just need to add a special organic additive mix into its internal bin and then add some water to it.
With it, you can easily turn any most of your food waste into compost without ever having to deal with any bad smells.
Now, let’s have a more detailed look at it and check out exactly how the Reencle Food Recycler works and also see what it has to offer you.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the unit’s size, the Reencle Food Recycler comes at a reasonably compact size, occupying no more space than any standard medium-sized kitchen trash bin.
Then, for its design, the Reencle features a gorgeous minimalist, discrete and ultra-modern design throughout its entire Flat Black body that blends in with pretty much any type of kitchen furniture. The device’s outer shell also portrays a glossy finish for an added touch of elegance and a more aesthetically pleasing look.
Inside the device, we have the unit’s dedicated Composting Bin, which features a total capacity of 3.7 Gallons and ultimately allows users to compost up to 2 lbs. of food waste at a time. It’s inside this 3.7 Capacity Composting Bin that the Reencle’s internal composting process takes place.
Now, what makes the Reencle a smart contacless food composter is none other than its integrated Smart Hand and Foot Sensors, which allow the device to detect the presence of a user.
That said, users can very easily get the Reencle’s attention either by simply waving their hand or by placing their foot next to the base of the device, for which the unit’s lid will then open-up automatically without requiring any sort of physical contact from the users themselves.
In addition, it’s also worth noting that the Reencle comes together with an included Scooping Shovel that’s meant to be used for scooping out its post-processed compound (which was first your food waste).
Lastly, at both sides as well as the back of the device, there are also built-in hangers that can be used to store its included Scooping Shovel when users are done using it.
These simple hangers are basically a very convenient integration that provide a hook-in-place storage for the device’s dedicated Scooping Shovel that’s much more hygienic than simply leaving its Scooping Shovel on the floor by leaning it against the device.
INTERFACE / CONTROL PANEL
At the top side of the device, users also have a built-in Touch Panel interface that’s very straightforward to interact with, thus making operating the unit a simple, easy and intuitive process.
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Now, you might be wondering exactly how does the Reencle Food Recycler works. As said before, this smart contacless food composter is capable of composting up to 2 pounds of food waste in just 24 hours maximum, and then give back 90% to nature with its organic additive mix.
That said, the Reencle achieves its automated and straightforward composting process by utilizing a special organic additive mix that contains specific organic additives that can devour different types of food waste in a natural fermentation process, which happens in a reasonably short period of time of just 2 ~ 24 hours.
Note that this time-frame will basically depend on what type of food you put into the device’s 3.7 Capacity Composting Bin.
On that note, keep in mind that this smart food composter can compost fruits, banana peels and other fruit skins / husks, as well as vegetables such as cabbages and cucumbers, meat and fish, eggs, and also noodles and grains.
It’s also worth noting that the device does its composting process from start to finish with a fairly low noise level.
During its composting process, the Reencle’s 3-Step Filter System accurately controls both the moisture and odor during the device’s entire automated composting process.
To be a little more specific, the first step used by its 3-Step Filter System is based on the Organic Additive from its special organic additive mix, as that is exactly what’s used to remove the Bacteria that’s responsible for generating any potential bad smell during the natural fermentation and degradation process of a user’s food waste.
As a second step, the device’s 3-Step Filter System then utilizes a specialized Mesh Filter that’s responsible for converting any of those odors into steam and refined air, which is then released through the device’s built-in exhaust filter.
And for the third and final step of its 3-Step Filter System, the Reencle utilizes an Activated Carbon Filter for fully absorbing any remaining odors.
The end result of this smart food composter’s entire process is a Plant Power Blend Compost Byproduct that can be used to nourish outdoor gardens.
Note that the company recommends for users to maintain a 1:4 ratio between byproduct and their choice of soil to ensure that all of their plants can remain happy and healthy.
HOW TO USE ?
As said before, this at-home food composter is fairly easy to use, as all you have to do is to pour a special organic additive mix into its internal 3.7 Gallon Composting Bin and then add some water to it. It’s literally that simple.
Once that’s done, users can then activate the Reencle to have the device start its automated and straightforward composting process, which will turn your food waste / food scraps into compost the very next day.
