The Aussie Kitchen Mate™ waste food organics bin

The Aussie Kitchen Mate™ is a waste food organics bin designed to be located in the kitchen as a fuss-free way of moving the organic component of the waste stream into the green organics wheelie bin. This cost effective solution which helps enrich existing domestically collected green organics for compost is not only great for the environment but handy in the kitchen too, and best of all it has been designed, tooled and manufactured right here in South Australia.

One World Environmental Solutions Pty Ltd has worked alongside composters, collector companies and Local Government to create this outstanding product.

Our people have a detailed understanding of the variety food organics collection systems both locally and around the world. By incorporating this knowledge in the design of the Aussie Kitchen Mate™ we have been able to include quite a number of important features; these are:-
