GRIN
The connected compost
About us
With GRIN, we aim to make compost accessible to everyone and to raise awareness about ‘good’ composting practices. We hope to bring together local and private composting initiatives to build an efficient and publicly available system.
Segregating and
composting
biodegradable waste would help reducing the average household’s bin by
77 kgs yearly.

Our Project
Our system is based on wooden composting containers strategically located in open and public places, such as parks. At every spot, there will be two containers: the first one to dispose of your green waste, and the second one to collect compost. Our system is free, but nevertheless based on a give-take model: every user needs to contribute in the first place to be able to collect compost later.
Locate a container
Containers can be easily located thanks to the interactive map provided in our mobile application. Users have to register on our platform to comply with our ‘code of honor’ first, before being able to use the containers. Our application also features a ‘composting tips’ section to help users segregate between what is compostable and what is not.
