Post Modern Compostable Kitchen Compost Bin by Platform

Designed by Platform, Post Modern is the first entirely compostable kitchen compost bin. In cities like San Francisco, Portland, etc. composting food waste is regulated, and required by every resident to dispose of in a dedicated curbside container. Trick is, that leaves everyone with a grimy, smelly, and leaky counter-top container that reminds everyone of the problem, all the time. And, especially in urban settings, countertops are a very valuable commodity indeed.

Platform created a neat, clean, completely-compostable container that's acceptable for municipal waste streams. Most importantly, it's designed to stay out of sight, and out of smell.

As well, form factor promotes better breakdown of the materials should you decide to keep it for your own garden. Specifically, the trapezoidal shape dictated by draft in the tool was augmented with additional tessellation and contours to promotion better aeration in and around the material promoting faster and more thorough composting.
