Your Composter Needs a Perpetual Gut.
Personalized Filter Cost Calculator (3-Year Forecast)
Zero consumable cost.
*Frequency based on input load (9-12mo).
*Calculation based on current market price: Reencle Carbon Filter ($35) replaced every 9-12 months based on usage + Mesh Filter ($12) replaced annually.
It's the difference between a starter culture and a full ecosystem — and that changes what you can feed it, and how consistently it performs. [2]
Transparent Boundaries: For Your Long-Term Success
Fruit/vegetable scraps, cooked grains, moderate oils & seasonings, coffee grounds, eggshells
Large bones, excessive oils, dairy products, plastic/foil, diseased plants
Wild Consortium vs. Cultured Starter
A living ecosystem selected for real kitchen conditions, not a lab-constrained culture.
Kobold™ Multi-Strain Ecosystem
Selected for tolerance to common kitchen variables (oils, seasonings, pH fluctuations)
Tolerance to Real Kitchen Inputs
Designed to handle moderate oils, vinegars, and seasonings within documented boundaries — no pre-rinsing required for typical scraps.
Defined Starter Culture
Food-derived microbes (e.g., cheese/soy starters) with brand-guided feeding practices. May require rinsing of salty/spicy inputs.
Practical Advantage: Broader tolerance to everyday kitchen inputs — with clear boundaries documented in Sources. [6]
Every Gram, Engineered for 24/7 Stability.
Weight isn't a goal — it's a consequence of the drivetrain, insulation, and sound-damping that maintain stable aerobic conditions.
Designed for portability and a smaller footprint. A lighter chassis prioritizes convenience and placement flexibility.
GEME's added mass comes from sound-damping, thermal structure, and a metal drivetrain designed for consistent long-cycle operation.
Designed to handle typical household scraps reliably — within stated input boundaries. [6]
Life With the Machine: Owner vs. Caretaker
Drag the slider to see how "Smart Features" can become "Daily Annoyances," and how GEME aims for invisibility.
GEME Terra 2
Day 0: Sleep on It
Pour water + Kobold™ starter. Go to sleep. Ready in 6-8 hours. No filters to install. No calendar reminders set.
Reencle Prime
Day 0: The Countdown Begins
Install the Carbon Filter— the clock starts ticking on its 9-12mo life immediately. Mix starter + water. Wait 24 hours before you can use it.
Soil Impact, Measured & Documented
A composting system should produce an output you can actually use in soil — not just dried residue.
Test Report: SOM Analysis
Context Note: This report compares GEME output to long-term natural SOM accumulation rates reported in similar contexts — it is not a universal constant. Results vary by soil type and climate conditions. [7]
Texture Note: Output texture varies by inputs, cycle settings, and curing time. Always follow each brand's guidance for optimal use. [8]
Choose Consistency — With Documented Boundaries
Built for daily use: stable processing, clear maintenance, and source-linked claims.
Final Decision Matrix
Prices based on current MSRP. Filter costs estimated based on brand guidance for average household use ($35 Carbon Filter / 9-12 months + $12 Mesh Filter / year).
