# Daring Decomposing Companies Vokashi Composting is a New Business that Never Wastes By Jordan M | Published 2011-01-14 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vokash References: [vokashi](http://vokashi.com/default.aspx) For Brooklyn households that find the idea of responsibly dealing with their own [food waste](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-waste-management) disgusting, Vandra Thonrburn's company Vokashi Composting is a welcome relief. For a fee, Vokashi Composting provides its customers with a [large green bin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-waste-processing-facility) and a special bran mixture that helps their compost ferment instead of rot. Once the bucket is full they take it off your hands and replace it with a new one, though you do have the option to have the [finished fertilizer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/by-osmosis) for your own use once it finishes fermenting. If not, Vokashi ships it off to a local farm community. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Waste Reduction Services:** Companies offering waste management services which refrain from direct disposal of waste materials as an innovative way to reduce waste - **Home Composting Solutions:** Companies offering home-based composting solutions as an option for households to reduce food waste and contribute to sustainable practices - **Urban Farming:** Organizations promoting and supporting city farming as a sustainable way to source fresh produce locally ### Who This Affects Most - **Sustainable Agriculture:** Sustainable agriculture companies can partner with home composting organizations to source locally produced organic fertilizers - **Waste Management:** Waste management companies can collaborate with sustainable composting firms to offer alternative waste reduction options to households and businesses - **Eco-friendly Gardening:** Eco-friendly gardening businesses can offer organic garden treatments like locally produced compost from home composting organizations to promote sustainable farming practices ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Odor-Busting Waste Composters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waste-composter.md) - [Intuitive Countertop Composters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vego-kitchen-composter.md) - [Hyper-Fast Countertop Composters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitamix-foodcycler-eco-5.md) - [Fully Compostable Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compostable-seed-packaging.md) - [Electric Food Recyclers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodcycler-eco-3.md) - [Compact Electric Composters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minix.md) - [In-Office Food Recycling Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mill-for-workplace.md) - [Urbanite Worm Compost Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vermicomposter.md) - [Microbe-Rich Kitchen Composters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geme-composter.md)
