A Family’s Journey to Reducing Food Waste: How the Eco 5 is Helping Monique Turczynski Create a Greener Home

‍

That’s when Monique came across the Eco 5, our 5L bench-top food waste dehydrator. The solution allowed her to repurpose unavoidable food waste into something useful - organic plant food that could be used safely around her children.

“We were doing everything we could to cut down on food waste, but there was always some that we couldn’t avoid. The Eco 5 changed that.” Monique said. “Now, instead of sending food to landfill, we turn it into nutrient-rich, organic plant food - completely free of the chemicals found in store-bought fertilisers, which is especially reassuring with young kids around. It’s a win-win.”

User-Friendly Tech for Busy Families

As a busy mum, Monique was pleasantly surprised by how easy the Eco 5 was to use. “There’s no assembly required, you just plug it in, press one button, and it starts,” she explained. “As someone who is both impatient and time-poor, that was a huge plus.”

Monique typically runs the Eco 5 about three to four times a week, handling all the unavoidable food waste from her household, and making her more conscious of the waste they generate. "Now, I always think to myself, ‘Is there anything else I can do with this?’ before I put something into the Eco 5.”

A Family Committed to Sustainability

Monique’s journey with the Eco 5 has sparked broader conversations within her family about sustainability. Her eldest son is now learning to be more mindful of food portions, and the family works together to reduce waste. “We involve him in decisions about how much food he wants to eat and when he can’t finish his meal, we save it for later whenever possible.”

From Waste to Resource

With the Eco 5, Monique’s family is seeing tangible results. The output from the dehydrator has been put to use on their lawn and houseplants, both of which are thriving. The family also plans to use the organic material as they take on larger landscaping projects in their backyard.

“We’ve already seen how well it works on the lawn and with some of our pot plants. As we continue to work on our backyard, I’m excited to incorporate the Eco 5 output into the soil to really help our garden grow.”

The Eco 5 has become more than just a tool for reducing waste - it’s helped Monique’s family embrace a more sustainable lifestyle. It’s a practical, everyday step toward making better choices for their home and the environment.

A Circular Solution for Food Waste

Monique’s journey with the Eco 5 is a testament to the benefits of embracing a circular food economy. Not only does the Eco 5 help reduce food waste and landfill emissions, but it also transforms that waste into something valuable - sustainable plant food that nurtures the earth.

For Monique, the Eco 5 has created more than just a waste-free kitchen; it’s built a more sustainable lifestyle for her family. “We’re much more conscious of the waste we generate. It’s sparked conversations we may not have had about what food waste does to the environment.”
