wormclub
The Café and Lunchroom ‘Clubhouse’ based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is following a sustainable and organic approach, willing to reduce a major amount of food waste in landfills. With a well-designed compost bin, composting is accessible for a restaurant without disturbing the overall atmosphere. It will be a part of the concept and environment there, instead of being just an odorous trash bin.
There is no general organic waste separation in Amsterdam, but only neighborhood projects, made the topic even more interesting.
Since the main component of organic waste accumulated in a restaurant is food, composting the kitchen scraps with a vermiculture is the ideal solution.
The final product is a worm compost bin suitable for the kitchen waste produced. With this method Clubhouse benefits of the waste produced by turning it into a high valuable fertilizer. In addition to it, it opens up possibilities to collaborate with the Marineterrein, make composting accessible to other people as well and raise social awareness about the subject matter.
