This is no ordinary kitchen system, with this kitchen system you don’t have to worry about your waste staying in your garbage until it smells around the kitchen. This Okokook kitchen system  makes use of all your waste, that’s right, all of it: it re-use your solid waste, liquid waste, and even your organic waste.

For the solid waste (have no smell) such as: glass; paper; plastic; metal and miscellaneous, each of these are placed in their own bin and smashed down to minimal size. All of these items activated by hand: a steel ball, like the ball in a pinball machine, to break glass, an endless screw like a nut-cracker to compress cans and water bottles, and a manual shredder-crusher to shred paper before turning it into briquettes.


For liquid waste, a double sink is use for retention then a second sink collects water that has been filtered of any grease scum into two pitchers that can then be used on household plants. All of this can be lifted out and cleaned (which it should be regularly) to keep up hygiene.

The process the organic waste goes through is probably the most disgusting. It uses real earthworms to break down organic wastes such as peels, scrapings, left-overs, etc. The container with the worms is a drum that rotates a notch a day. The waste inside shifts gradually and after three months maturing are considered lumbri compost. Liquid effluent drains into two pitchers, and diluted one part effluent to ten parts water, this junk becomes perfect food for indoor and outdoor plants.
