Palm Bin is a new smart kitchen appliance that collects food scraps without odors and messes and gamifies the process of reducing household food waste.
Palm Bin sets itself apart from the average composter by using thermoelectric semiconductors to keep food scraps cold and inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria and breakdown of compostable liners. The smart compost bin continuously sends information to an app where users can view their impact, reduce their food waste over time, follow their friends' journeys and win badges for their efforts.
Palm announced its preorder campaign goal on Kickstarter and within the first hour of sales, it surpassed its goal. This simple food waste recycling solution will help to chip away at the billions of tons of food sent to landfills from home kitchens annually.
