The Aerobin 200 is a technological breakthrough. It uses a patented lung within an insulated bin to promote aerobic and efficient break down of organic matter. This aerobic process helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Aerobin is also easy to use - just open the lid, drop in organic waste and close. When the fertile compost is produced it is easily accessed at either side. Aerobin also captures liquid nutrients that can be used as liquid fertilizer. The Aerobin creates the perfect environment for hot composting. Hot composting is desirable because it kills pathogens, inoculates weeds and seeds and creates good quality compost in a short time. A variety of materials such as food scraps (including onion and citrus), tea leaves, lawn clippings, leaves, twigs and even newspaper will encourage microbial action to produce compost. The thermal insulation in the Aerobin stabilizes temperature, beneficial to microbial action year round.
