Lomi Food Recycler

Lomi is a pioneering kitchen technology brand that revolutionized how households handle organic waste. The product was born from the vision of Open-Hole (doing business as Pela), a Canadian b-corp company famous for creating the world's first compostable phone case. By applying their expertise in materials science and sustainability, the team developed an appliance that uses heat, abrasion, and oxygen to transform food scraps into nutrient-rich 'Lomi Earth' in just a few hours.

While the brand was conceptualized and the technology was engineered in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, the mass production of these complex electronic devices is handled by specialized manufacturing partners in China to ensure global scalability and high-tech quality control. This allows the brand to maintain its position as a market leader in the emerging countertop composting space.

Today, the brand operates under the corporate identity of Lomi, having evolved beyond its beginnings as a project within Pela. As a mission-driven enterprise, it remains privately held and headquartered in Canada, continuing to develop smart home solutions aimed at eliminating the need for the traditional kitchen trash can while significantly reducing methane emissions associated with food waste in landfills.
