The Keiro is a compact food grinder that helps compost kitchen scraps. Food waste is ground to easily composted bits by turning a hand crank.
Those who compost kitchen scraps welcome ways to keep the process tidy. Made of sustainably produced BioResin, the dishwasher-safe Keiro pieces fit together tightly to prevent spillage and a replaceable filter system minimizes odor. The small footprint and ability to use 2-gallon ‘BioBag’ composting bags give it composting bonus points. Like all ‘Quirky’ crowdsourced designs, once presales orders reach a threshold, the units will go to production.
