by Chen-Hsiang Chao for Bionicraft Co., Ltd.

Biovessel is an indoor ecosystem composter, inspired by nature and designed to deal with food waste, it brings nature into your urban home and redefines food waste by turning it into nutrients that feed new life. With the help of earthworms, soil and its microorganisms, and water the ecosystem within Biovessel redefines waste, which is otherwise disposed of in bins. The process of breaking down the organic waste is purely powered by nature and creates a self-sustainable ecosystem that achieves odorless, high-efficiency decomposition.
