These literal mountains of food waste break down into methane \u2013 84x more potent than CO\u2082 \u2013 driving 6% of all warming. That\u2019s three times worse than aviation. Most food waste comes from homes and businesses where 30% of all grub is tossed. Historically there have only been two options to curb this waste: Ask people to buy less, and\/or separate the food from everything else in the trash bin \u2013 a smelly, sticky, inconvenient undertaking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-orange-aa-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-how-it-works\">How it Works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mill\u2019s food-transforming bins offer another way by pre-sorting and processing the food before it leaves your home. Their sleek device turns your sloppiest scraps and leftovers into dried, odorless food grounds. They&#8217;re lighter and more compact than trash, while retaining the nutrients. These grounds in turn can feed chickens or restore soils in your garden, instead of adding to landfills. For many homes, tossing food in a Mill is the most efficient way to reduce your CO\u2082 footprint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-orange-aa-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-unfair-advantage\">Unfair Advantage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team that built Nest thermostats and cut their teeth on the iPhone is applying their design wizardry to garbage. Mill\u2019s team has decades of experience working on the world\u2019s most iconic consumer products and now brings these superpowers to a market begging for reinvention. A user experience this frictionless makes diverting scraps from the landfill second nature, averting millions of tons of methane emissions and streamlining waste operations for households and cities alike.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignfull are-vertically-aligned-center is-style-figure is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849
