More About Ecopace Environmental Enzyme Machine
Ecopace is a household machine that turns kitchen waste into eco-enzyme. Peels, vegetables and sugar water are poured in from the top, as prompted on the screen. During the first month of fermentation, Ecopace releases gas and stirs the mixture automatically each day. After three months, the liquid enzyme flows into a tank, while a screen layer filters the residue, which can be removed from the side and dried for use as fertilizer. The outer shell is stainless steel and the inner container is made by ABS injection molding. Eco-enzyme can be used for deodorizing and composting.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Eco-enzyme made from kitchen waste can be used for eliminate odors and composting cultivation. Due to its crude production method, it is difficult to promote them from rural China to cities. "Ecopace" integrates the pain points in the production process of Eco-enzyme, intelligently and simplifies the production process. Its water circulation system is convenient for the storage and removal of enzymes, and the generated residues can be taken out from the side and used as fertilizer.
- Inspiration
- The traditional incineration of kitchen waste will generate a lot of carbon dioxide. Compared with composting, making waste into Eco-enzyme can be used for deodorization, sterilization, etc, and the residue produced by fermentation can also be used as fertilizer after drying. The family has produced many conveniences and is also in line with the sustainable development trend.
- Research
- Through market research, we study various data of consumers, provide solutions for sustainable development through diversified analysis of competing products, and then build user goals in new application scenarios to find more humanized design points.
- Challenge
- The most challenging point in the project development is to integrate the rough and complex production methods of Eco-enzyme and various pain points in the production process into a simple whole.
- Realization and Technology
- The shell is made of stainless steel material to minimize the cost, and the ABS injection molding process is used to make the container inside to ensure the long-term storage of environmental protection enzymes.
- Operation and Interaction
- Pour the peels, vegetables and suitable sugar water from the top according to the prompts on the screen. During the first month of fermentation, the machine will remind the machine to discharge gas and stir automatically every day. After three months of fermentation, Enzymes will flow from the fermenting area into the tank, the residue will be filtered by the screen layer and can be taken out from the side.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in Wuhan in November 2021 and completed in Wuhan in January 2022
