RESEARCH
The goal of Compostia is to turn local waste streams, such as your compost, into usable products. Rather than going to a landfill to rot, organic materials can be recycled into new products and complete the cycle of sustainability.
Compostia is currently gathering local waste streams to experiment with creating new materials. We are especially excited to be experimenting with a bioleather waste stream from Figment Kombucha here in Athens.

Here are a few more examples of waste streams being turned into usable, new materials. These products inspire us to experiment and invovate using our own local waste streams as a resource.
