Make compost. Not waste.

Every year, over 931 million tons of food are thrown away worldwide (source: UNEP Food Waste Index Report, 2021). A significant portion of this waste ends up in the general waste bin, even though organic products contain valuable nutrients. Especially in cities, avoiding waste in the kitchen is often difficult due to a lack of practical solutions. The problem? Improperly disposed of organic waste in landfills releases methane gas—a gas that is many times more harmful to the climate than CO₂.

It's not just about emissions: By disposing of organic waste in waste incineration plants or landfills, we remove valuable minerals from the soil. Keeping agricultural land fertile requires artificial fertilizers – often containing peat or synthetic additives. At soilkind, we believe there's a better way: Zero Waste begins where you can actively implement waste prevention in the kitchen. That's why we've developed a solution that allows you to compost your food scraps hygienically, efficiently, and sustainably.

Make compost, not waste! We want to promote appreciation for food and organic waste in society. After all, why should valuable resources simply be thrown away when they can still be useful? Our vision began with a simple question: What if composting were as easy as a kitchen appliance?

When we founded soilkind in 2017, we knew one thing: Zero Waste had to be achievable in everyday life. After years of research, we developed an electric indoor composter that turns food scraps into real compost in just 48 hours – completely without worms or unpleasant odors. We're not just about drying or shredding waste; we're about a true zero-waste solution for your kitchen. With our patented two-chamber system, we ensure that you drastically reduce the amount of waste while simultaneously harvesting nutrient-rich soil.

More about our values

With the soilkind composter, you can actively contribute to reducing waste in the kitchen. Anyone who enjoys cooking knows the problem: Food scraps accumulate every day – but what to do with them? Our solution ensures that valuable nutrients are preserved instead of ending up in the trash.

This completes the natural cycle: Your compost returns to the soil precisely the nutrients plants need for healthy growth. Even the water contained in the food is retained and can be reused thanks to our intelligent recycling system – a real win for you and the environment.

We want to inspire people around the world to use food sustainably. The environmentally friendly recycling of organic waste is crucial for a healthy ecosystem. Yet far too many organic products still end up in landfills or incinerators instead of being returned to the soil as compost .

With soilkind, avoiding waste in the kitchen is easy and practical. Our electric composter is fully automatic, hygienic, and odorless—putting an end to conventional waste in your kitchen.

The mix makes it possible: At soilkind in Stuttgart, a wide range of experts work together... from biology, technology, materials science, engineering and electronics. We are united by our love of nature and our enthusiasm for smart, meaningful and enriching solutions in the home.

When we started, our kitchen composter was still called KALEA. Our product, our brand and our mission have grown - and so has our name. We have been soilkind since December 2022.
