Kitchen compost bin EDA 013121 V.CT/G.A with activated carbon filter, plastic, 10 L, ergonomic, green/anthracite

The EDA kitchen compost bin 013121 V.CT/G.A is a 10-litre plastic container designed for indoor collection of food waste. Its compact shape and ergonomic lid make it suitable for placement on countertops or inside cabinets, while the integrated activated carbon filter helps reduce odours during short-term storage of fruit and vegetable scraps. The green and anthracite finish provides a neutral appearance that fits most kitchen interiors.

Advantages

The bin combines a lightweight, easy-to-clean plastic body with an ergonomic handle and lid that simplify emptying and daily use. The built-in activated carbon filter reduces unwanted smells without chemicals and is replaceable or cleanable depending on manufacturer guidance. With a 10-litre capacity the unit balances storage space and compact footprint for small to medium households or apartment kitchens.

Suitable for

• Collecting fruit and vegetable scraps at the kitchen counter
• Temporary indoor compost storage before transfer to an outdoor compost or municipal collection
• Small households, couples, or single-person apartments
• Placement under the sink or inside a kitchen cabinet for discreet waste management

When it may not be suitable

This compost bin is intended for short-term indoor storage of kitchen scraps and is not designed for direct outdoor use or as a full composting system. For families producing large volumes of food waste or for continuous high-moisture composting, a larger dedicated composting solution or outdoor compost bin will be more appropriate. Strongly odorous or liquid waste should be managed with liners or removed more frequently to avoid leakage or persistent smells.

Key specifications

• Material: plastic body and lid
• Capacity: 10 litres
• Colour/finish: green and anthracite
• Filter type: activated carbon filter for odour reduction
• Shape: ergonomic design with handle and lid for easy handling

How to use

Place the compost bin on a stable surface such as a countertop or inside a cabinet. Open the lid using the ergonomic handle, deposit fruit and vegetable scraps, and close the lid to engage the activated carbon filter in the lid assembly. Empty the bin into an outdoor compost pile or municipal organics container when it reaches capacity or every few days to avoid build-up of moisture and odours. Clean the interior with mild detergent and water as needed; remove and replace or refresh the activated carbon filter according to manufacturer instructions.

What to consider before purchase

• 10-litre capacity — suitable for small to medium daily volumes of kitchen scraps
• Indoor use design — not intended for permanent outdoor exposure
• Activated carbon filter requires occasional replacement or maintenance
• Plastic construction — lightweight and easy to clean but not for heavy-duty outdoor composting

Usage recommendations

Use biodegradable liners or paper to reduce cleaning frequency, empty the bin regularly to prevent moisture build-up, and store in a cool, ventilated cabinet when not in active use. Replace or refresh the activated carbon filter periodically to maintain odour control.
