Make compost. Not waste.

In 2022, over 1.05 billion metric tons of food were thrown away worldwide (Source: UNEP Food Waste Index Report, 2024). A significant portion of this waste ends up in the general waste bin, even though organic products contain valuable nutrients. Especially in cities, reducing kitchen waste is often difficult due to a lack of practical solutions.

This is exactly where soilkind comes in, making the recycling of your organic waste an integral part of your daily routine. Instead of disposing of biomass without using it, you can now store kitchen scraps at any time and turn them into fresh compost. With soilkind, organic scraps become a nutrient-rich foundation for your garden, and your waste can finally be integrated into your household cycle.

Make compost, not waste. We want to promote a greater 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 using a kitchen appliance?

When we founded soilkind in 2019, one thing was clear to us: Smart waste reuse must be feasible in everyday life. After years of research, we’ve developed an electric indoor composter that turns food scraps into fresh compost in just 48 hours—without any worms. For us, it’s not just about drying or shredding waste, but about providing a smart solution for your organic waste. With our patented two-chamber system, we ensure that you reduce the amount of waste while simultaneously producing 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 smart cycle: Your fresh 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 circulation system – a real win for you and your garden.

We want to inspire people worldwide to use food in a circular way. The future-oriented utilization of organic waste is crucial for the reduction of waste volume. Yet far too many organic products still end up in waste instead of being returned to the soil as fresh compost.

With soilkind, avoiding waste in the kitchen is easy and practical. Our electric composter is fully automatic, hygienic and puts 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 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.
