Transform food scraps into nutrient-rich compost in a matter of hours.
Lomi (by Pela) is a must-have home appliance for anyone who wants to make a positive impact on their environment without stressing over smelly compost. This revolutionary kitchen appliance turns food waste into nutrient rich fertilizer in as little as four hours.
Composting the old-fashioned way is slow, messy, time-consuming, and requires significant outdoor space. Lomi solves all of those problems with a click of a button. Simply place your food scraps, coffee grounds, and other approved products into the basin, and push the button. Your Lomi will work its magic to break down your food waste in just a few hours, creating nutrient-rich compost that you can use in your plants and gardens.
The Lomi also works great in conjunction with your backyard compost. Why? For starters, no fruit flies or stinky smells or messy bins, but more important, Lomi dirt won't attract critters to your compost pile. And in the winter, when you don't want to trek all the way to your bin, you can accumulate your Lomi dirt in your garage or other area without threat of critters.

GEEK OUT ON ECO STATS
Using a Lomi for a year can help prevent emissions that are the equivalent of:
-Powering a gasoline car for 576 miles
-Burning 257 pounds of coal
-Charging a smartphone 28,221 times
43% of food waste in the U.S. happens at the household level.
That’s the equivalent of $165 Billion or around $2000 per family every year. That’s a lot of methane. When a household runs all their food waste through Lomi, the methane that would have been produced in a landfill decreases to zero.
127% reduction of your carbon footprint by using a Lomi... compared with throwing your waste in a landfill. How? Lomi earth is rich in organic matter and organic carbon. Typically, food waste breaks down in landfills anaerobically and releases methane, a greenhouse gas with 80x the warming power of carbon dioxide. When Lomi earth is used in combination with soil to grow plants, these nutrients are broken down by microorganisms to help feed plants. Nutrients like carbon get stored in plant matter instead of released as carbon dioxide.
PACKAGING

Unfortunately, this is one of those great products from an innovative company that has chosen to manufacture in China. Lomi was designed in Canada.
