About Vitality Family Garden Compostiera
Vitality Family Garden è una piccola compostiera da interni progettata per trattare i rifiuti di cucina domestici. I lombrichi collocati all'interno del contenitore si nutrono dei residui alimentari e li trasformano in fertilizzante naturale. Il fertilizzante viene poi utilizzato per coltivare ortaggi in piccoli vasi. Una lampada LED per la coltivazione favorisce la crescita delle piante in ambienti interni e le sue modalità di illuminazione si selezionano tramite pulsanti. Il prodotto non è automatizzato, pertanto il compostaggio e la coltivazione sono affidati all'utente. Vitality Family Garden riduce gli odori della cucina e restituisce nuova utilità agli scarti alimentari.

- Production Technology
- The indoor planting technology used in the product is quite mature, and the LED lighting supplement technology used is also suitable for mass production.
- Design Challenge
- The earthworm are a difficult group to control. They will escape the soil when the external environment is unstable. In the end, we got a lot of guidance information from insect biologists and agricultural planting experts.
- Research
- Literature review, observational studies and focus groups made to support the design process. Literature review data is documented in research documents submitted.
- Inspiration
- Food waste accounts for 46.2% of combustible waste, but each ton produces 0.3 tons of carcinogenic gas and a large amount of carbon dioxide. Traditional burial and incineration will not only pollute the land and air, but also waste food resources that should have been rationally used.
As one of the major categories of domestic waste, reasonable disposal of kitchen waste is an important issue in today's waste disposal. - Project Duration
- Through the form of composting, the kitchen waste becomes an essential nutrient for plant growth, so that the discarded kitchen waste can be turned into delicious food again.The project was launched in Japan and China in December 2019. This is a 6-month experimental project that will end in June 2020.
- Operation Flow
- Control the lighting mode through the buttons. The product is not automated, and is designed to allow consumers to complete composting and planting activities independently. Earthworms and planting lights can help people better nurture and take care of their plants.
