Whirlpool Corporation announced the release of the Zera™ Food Recycler, a kitchen appliance that turns food waste into fertilizer. The Zera™ system – from WLabs of Whirlpool Corporation, the company's innovation incubator – will debut at CES® 2017 and is available for pre-orders on Indiegogo. This innovative product is the first indoor recycler in the United States that converts a week's worth of food waste into ready-to-use homemade fertilizer within 24 hours. The beautifully-designed device conveniently fits into the kitchen, and with a simple push of a button converts household food waste into homemade fertilizer through an easy and convenient process. Zera™ Food Recycler can break down one week's worth of the average U.S. family's food waste within 24 hours by using a combination of oxygen, moisture, heat and mixing to expedite the decomposition process. Unlike traditional composting methods, families are able to use the Zera™ system year-round regardless of the weather and can remotely operate the appliance through the easy-to-use Whirlpool® mobile app.
