EcoComposter: A Compact Household Composting Solution

The increasing amount of household biodegradable waste has created a demand for effective and environmentally friendly waste management solutions. In this paper we present EcoComposter: A Compact Household Composting Solution, an automated system to convert kitchen and vegetable waste into nutrient rich compost in 8 days. The system is an Arduino based controller with inbuilt temperature and moisture sensors, heating mechanism, and mixing system for automatic monitoring and control of compost. The experimental results showed a successful breakdown of organic waste into dry soil-like compost with decreased manual labor and improved efficiency. The developed system is compact, cost effective, hygienic, and useful for urban households. The proposed solution promotes decentralized waste management and eco-friendly environmental practices.
