Modern Urbanite Composting

Mathieu Azema Plans to Cut Down on Pollution

— April 5, 2011 — Eco
We all know that composting is great for the environment and is an important part of our "reduce, reuse and recycle" process and Mathieu Azema is prepared to take this to the next level. If you live in a big city, city trucks to have to go to your house or apartment building and pick up your organic trash. This adds to CO2 pollution since these trucks have to physically pick up the compost and haul it to another location.

Mathieu Azema has created some ultra modern composting bins for city dwellers. This sleek and functional design will please any local urbanites with its aesthetics and usefulness. The compost sits in drums and a city attendant takes care of the urban composting process by rotating the drums and accelerating the composting process.

The compost can then be used for plants, gardens and other shrubs. This helps to add to the overall beautification of your local area with reduction of chemicals needed to help the plants stay healthy. What better way is there to feel like a part of a solution and have an opportunity to see the composting in action from start to finish?!
