François Hurtaud has designed an incredibly stylish composter that would easily blend in with any contemporary interior. Dubbed Éva, this compost does a remarkable job of breaking down and recycling organic waste.
The most fascinating part about François Hurtaud's compost creation is that it uses the recycled waste as a way to fuel itself. Part of the waste is used to grow food as well as produce methane, generating energy that is then used to feed a light source and encourage the growth of plants.
François Hurtaud has hit a home run with Éva. Not only is it a self-generating biosphere that recycles, but it also produces light, fresh air and organic food.
