The Box of Life for Business—your ticket to sustainability! Composting earthworms, microbes, and your team turn food waste into nutrient-rich soil. The key is vermicomposting—using worms to turn waste into nature's best soil booster. Our sleek, odour-free bins process 2lbs of food waste and paper products daily and fit in your office indoors or outdoors.

The problem

Did you know that 60% of our garbage is food waste?

It's not just about trash; it's about pollution, emissions, and toxic landfills. In Canada alone, food waste contributes to 56.6 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. Businesses generate 20% of global waste, and some of it, like food waste, has a significant climate impact—rotting food emits potent methane, 25 times more impactful than CO2. Enter The Box of Life, a two-birds-one-stone solution to combat pollution and enrich our soil.

Your questions answered

Will it smell?

Nope, your bin should only smell like the forest floor! If there's any funky business, check the user guide or hit up your Box of Life representative for troubleshooting.

How much work is involved?

Worms are fascinating creatures, and while you could spend hours observing, you only need about 5 minutes per week for proper maintenance. We recommend having 1-2 volunteer wormy godparents leading the charge.

How often do we feed it, how much?

Collect your kitchen scraps in our countertop receptacles and feed the worms 1-2 times a week, depending on your waste output. The bin can handle around 8-10 lbs per week, equivalent to two countertop receptacles.

What's the environmental impact?

It varies, but at full throttle, expect to divert 2 lbs of waste per day (per bin), preventing about 40 lbs of CO2 emissions weekly and a whopping 2,000 lbs annually.

What does a healthy bin look like?

Smells like a stroll through the woods, worms evenly spread and munching, contents moist but not swampy, and the drip tray below? Fairly empty. Nature's harmony in a bin!
