Lomi launches Food Waste Recycling Program,
diversifying its clean, easy, and convenient approach to food waste
management with both products and services.
KELOWNA,
BC, April 19, 2024 /CNW/ - Lomi, the
innovative leader in food waste management and creators of the
world's first Smart Waste™ kitchen composter announce the
launch of their Lomi Food Waste Recycling Program, to be piloted in
Kelowna, British Columbia.
This groundbreaking new program, which begins service in
May 2024, offers Kelowna residents convenient organics
collection and a seamless solution to turn food waste into a
valuable resource, a natural lawn & garden fertilizer called
Lomi Earth, that can be used at home
or donated to local farms and collection partners where it can
regenerate the soil. This circularity reduces the environmental
impact of traditional waste disposal methods and enhances the soil
with nutrient rich amendments.
Lomi Earth
is an excellent alternative to synthetic fertilizers that
can be used on lawns or in gardens,
supporting higher crop yields, enhancing
nutrient density and promoting regenerative agriculture while
reducing waste.
"Residents of the Kelowna area
have voiced their overwhelming support for curbside food waste
collection," says Matt Bertulli, CEO
of Lomi. "The Lomi Food Waste Recycling Program is a simple
solution that meets this need: it is not only clean and convenient
but has a positive local and environmental impact. Plus, by
partnering with farms on this initiative we give back to the
community, enhance local agriculture, and support community food
banks."
Residents interested in joining the movement towards a
zero-waste Kelowna can sign up for
the service, which includes a Lomi food recycler and on-demand
Lomi Earth pickup. The Lomi Smart
Waste™ food recycler upgrades how we handle waste, transforming
food scraps into natural fertilizer, all at the push of a button
and without the mess of smelly, wet green bins, rotting food, or
the challenges and danger of rodents and pests. For more details on
this groundbreaking initiative, visit ca.lomi.com or contact the
Lomi team at pr@pela.earth.
