Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before composting at home with Budloop.
Before You Buy
Budloop produces real microbial compost — not dehydrated waste.High-temperature aerobic microbes biologically break down food scraps, reducing total volume by up to 95%. The final output consists of nutrient-rich compost and water vapor, suitable for soil and plant use.
No. Odor is eliminated biologically at the source through microbial fermentation, UV sterilization, and ion-catalytic oxidation — not masked by carbon filters. The released airflow is colorless, odorless, and safe for indoor use.
Yes. Budloop is designed specifically for indoor environments.It operates quietly (below 32 dB), produces no liquid discharge, and uses sealed biological processes to maintain hygiene during long-term daily use.
With a 15L chamber, Budloop comfortably supports the daily kitchen waste of a typical household (4–9 people). Compost removal is generally required only once every 30–40 days, depending on usage.
How It Works & Daily Use
No. Daily operation is simple: add food waste and press one button.The system automatically manages mixing, oxygen flow, temperature, and drying, then enters standby mode when finished.
No. Budloop requires no carbon filters, consumables, or routine part replacements. When removing compost, simply leave half inside to regenerate the microbial ecosystem.
Yes, but only once.During the initial setup, you add the included microbial and 800 ml of water to establish the system’s high-temperature aerobic environment.The unit then runs a 24-hour activation cycle, allowing the microbial ecosystem to stabilize.Once activated, no further setup or reactivation is required for up to one year of normal use.
Food waste begins decomposing immediately and is typically processed within 24 hours.Compost is produced gradually through continuous use, and can be removed approximately every 30–40 days, depending on usage.
Performance & Comparison
Most electric composters rely on heat to dry food waste.Budloop uses biological decomposition through aerobic microbes, continuous mixing, and controlled airflow to create real compost — not dehydrated scraps — with lower energy use and minimal maintenance.
Average energy consumption is only 0.06 kWh, significantly lower than most large-capacity electric composters.
Budloop can handle most common kitchen waste, including fruits, vegetables, cooked meals, grains, leftovers, and even meat. To prevent high-fiber ingredients from wrapping around the mixing shaft, it’s best to cut them into smaller pieces. Avoid large bones, excessive liquids, and non-food materials.
