Why Microbes Matter More Than Heat
Why Heat Alone Doesn’t Create Real Compost
Most home composting systems rely on heat to reduce food waste. While heat can dry scraps, it does not create real compost.
True composting depends on active aerobic microbes — organisms that break down food waste biologically, not mechanically. These microbes require oxygen, stable temperatures, and time to work effectively.
Industrial-Grade Aerobic Microbes, Adapted for Home Use
Budloop uses a high-temperature aerobic microbial system originally developed for industrial composting environments. These microbes remain active between 60–80°C (140–176°F), allowing continuous biological decomposition instead of simple drying.
This approach enables real compost formation, stable odor control, and long-term system reliability — without carbon filters, frequent maintenance, or added complexity.
See how Budloop applies this science in a real home composting system.
