“We are thrilled with the initial response and support we’ve received from our backers on Kickstarter,” said Manali Yavatkar, founder, Palm. “Over 93 billion tons of food are sent to landfills from our homes each year, where it produces 20 billion pounds of methane. With Palm Bin, we’ve taken the hassle out of compost collection with a thoughtful design and innovative tech that will keep food waste out of landfills and make a positive environmental impact.”

Key features of Palm Bin include:

Advanced Cooling Tech – Palm Bin uses thermoelectric semiconductors to keep food scraps cold and stop the growth of odor-causing bacteria and breakdown of compostable liners.
User-Friendly – Palm Bin includes a removable caddy and touch-free empty for easy transport and mess-free disposal into a user’s curbside green bin. Custom fit bin liners won’t break down and the Palm Bin is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
Track Your Impact – Palm Bin’s sensors continuously monitor the amount of food scraps in the bin and send that information to an app where users can then see their impact, reduce their food waste over time, follow their friends’ progress, and even win badges.
Sustainable Design – Palm Bin was created with a fully sustainable lifecycle using plant-based biopolymer, recycled cellulose insulation and a modular design that is easily repairable.

The Palm Bin Kickstarter campaign runs through May 23, 2024 with special limited pricing while supplies last. To order your Palm Bin, click here.
