Change happens one cycle at a time.
Lomi is on a mission to divert 10 billion pounds of waste from landfills by rethinking the way we handle our food scraps.
THE PROBLEM
More than 1 billion tons of food waste is generated every year.
That’s a whole lot of food going in the trash. But, food scraps aren’t actually trash: they’re full of valuable nutrients that help regenerate the soil and the worst thing we can send it into the landfills where it contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
There’s a better solution.
THE SOLUTION
Don’t trash your scraps. Recycle them.
Lomi Food Recyclers transform your food scraps into natural, nutrient-fertilizer, a soil amendment we call Lomi Earth, that can help to help regenerate the soil and support the growth of healthy plants.
The proof is in the Earth:
See our reports and studies about Lomi and Lomi Earth.
GreenStep Solutions
Research study result:
Lomi Earth, Lomi Blends + Lomi Earth, and Synthetic Fertilizer Comparative Life Assessment shows “Lomi Earth (end product) significantly reduces carbon emissions, water consumption, and waste generation, as compared to other alternatives.”
Cadotte Environmental
Research study result:
Preliminary analysis indicates that “Lomi Earth was the most effective soil amendment for increasing plant size and soil health compared against compost and organic fertilizer.”
Helen’s Acres Farm
Research study result:
The initial testing result indicates adding Lomi Earth to soil increased crop yield by 26%, increased crop size by 17%, and boosted levels of essentials nutrients, as compared to the control.
Community Impact
Together, the Lomi Community has kept up to 116,682,000 pounds of food out of landfills.
In 2024, Lomi users processed more than 54,306,000 pounds of food scraps. And all the carbon that would have been created by sending it to landfills? All taken care of by Lomi (saving the work of more than 123,000 trees!).
Plus, all those food scraps created more than 10.86 million pounds of Lomi Earth. That much Lomi Earth, when mixed with soil would have created up to more than 119.47 million pounds of natural fertilizer, enough to cover 840 football fields with an inch of natural, homemade fertilizer!

Carbon Emissions
Lomi helps reduce your carbon footprint.
Even though Lomi is powered by electricity, you’re still reducing your carbon footprint by an average of 90 lbs CO2e every year.
Plus, thanks to Smart Cycles™, your Lomi can determine the shortest and ideal runtime.
That means you’re always making the best possible Lomi Earth and you’re being efficient with your energy when you do it.
Smart Cycles is available in Lomi 2 models only.
Carbon Emissions
We have a zero waste packaging.
We aren’t just diverting food from landfills: we also avoid additional trash by printing Lomi packaging with all-natural vegetable ink and using plant-based and compostable materials. This means that 100% of our packaging can be recycled or composted.
THINKING ECO-FIRST
We pay Lomi forward.
Lomi has a lot to offer and we take Lomi's end of life journey seriously by refurbishing, upcycling, and donating Lomis to schools.
