David Seo's Compost.it Bin is a contemporary design that speeds up the process of composting. Seo's concep is a stainless steel container with a set of grinders that turns old apple cores and banana peels into mushy plant food.
One major problem of compost bins is that they take quite awhile to turn food waste into usable plant food. Couple the long wait with the fact that you essentially have to store rotting food in your home for an indefinite amount of time and it is easy to see why more people don't set up home compost bins. The Compost.it Bin would push the process along by grinding up food waste into bits. The amount of time it takes to create usable compost would be cut considerably as you would only need to wait until the Compost.it Bin is filled with food scraps. The sleek stainless steel design should appeal to those living in city who don't have a gardening shed nor a space for a wooden compost bin.
