komham starts smart compost rental business. Trial use available at events! *Smart compost installed at “2024 Sapporo Autumn Fest” for the second consecutive year*
*
Komham Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Atsubetsu-ku, Sapporo City, Branch: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Suno Nishiyama) will start a rental business for “Smart Compost (R)”. We have received many inquiries about the short-term use of smart compost, such as those who want to use it at environmentally friendly events or who want to try it out for a short period of time before purchasing, and now that we have a mass production development system in place, we have decided to start this service. I did. In addition, for the second consecutive year, smart composting will be installed at the venue for the 2024 Sapporo Autumn Fest, which has been rented out since last year, and food waste generated at the event will be disposed of entirely within the venue. *
