Taking ‘yuck’ factor out of composting

A bag within a box is this start-up’s innovative way to enable households to recycle and compost more, writes Trish Dromey.

Whether the UK leaves the EU or stays in, Dublin start-up company Obeo believes the market there is wide open for a food waste box that helps take the ‘yuck factor’ and the stink out of composting.

In readiness for a UK launch in the autumn, the company has just raised €350,000 in funding and is already targeting high-end multiples such as Waitrose and Sainsbury’s.
