We use Bokashi fermentation to reimagine our approach to green waste in an urban environment and develop new collaborative local solutions that require less labor, utilize smaller carbon footprints, and leverage the excess capacity of concretized or indoor space in an urban environment.

What is Bokashi?

Bokashi composting is an anaerobic process, using a culture of bacteria which thrive in an oxygen-free environment. They don’t produce offgassing like landfills, and still lead to a healthy, living end product. Bokashi is ideal for indoor composting. It requires less space, offers more input options, and is perfectly suited to an urban environment or anywhere with limited green space.

Using Bokashi at Home

  • Collect your food scraps throughout the week.

  • Add your scraps to a bokashi fermenter, layering with bokashi bran, and condense to remove air pockets.

  • Once it's full, let sit to ferment for 4 weeks when the bucket is full, draining the excess liquid occasionally.

  • You can either bury your fermented material for a major organic matter boost for your soil, or let us handle your full fermenter!

Bokashi at Scale

Bokashi utilized at scale provides an efficient, entirely in-vessel solution for handling feedstocks, with significantly lower vector risk, and allowing your customers to compost anything they can eat. It's the perfect fit for small, urban spaces.

Plenty of composters utilize bokashi, and nearly everyone applies it differently! Check our our resources on this page, or feel free to reach out and we'd be happy to chat about it.
