The Task: Composting Made Simpler
We set out to create a compost caddy that conveniently docks on the side of simplehuman trash cans encouraging people to separate organics from trash, making waste management even more efficient.

food prep friendly
Our compost caddy easily detaches from its magnetic dock for use at the kitchen counter during food prep and clean up.

not magic, magnetic
Magnetic docking system not only secures the caddy firmly in place, it also holds the lid open for convenient scraping and peeling.

keep odors in, pests out
Soft-seal lid allows organics to breathe, keeping odors like banana peels under control and pests like fruit flies away.

simple to empty, easy to clean
Detachable lid and a smooth inner bucket are designed for efficient removal, dumping, and rinsing.

cleaner stainless steel
Our invisible silver-ion coating resists fingerprints and the spread of germs without dulling the natural sheen and luster of the steel.

made for earth
Our code Z compostable custom fit liners fit our compost caddy perfectly with no ugly overhang, and are certified compostable so you can throw them out and they will decompose completely.
