ZWS Essentials Countertop Compost Bin Kit, Stainless
ZWS Essentials
Countertop Compost Bin Kit
The zero-polymer way to collect scraps on the counter. Skip or newspaper-line the bin if you want to avoid the bag question entirely; hand wash, not dishwasher.
A stainless countertop bin with charcoal filters plus a 48-pack of compost bags in one kit. The metal bin is the plastic-free part; the included bags are certified-claimed plant resin, the usual asterisk with liners.
