Green Kitchen - EkoKook Turns All of Your Waste into Something Useful

Anyone who has been following my articles recently will notice my effort to bring you more green technology. We need to face the harsh reality the going green is the best way to protect our planet. Perhaps the coolest thing I have come across in a long time is called the Ekokook kitchen. This is a very unique kitchen that enables you to cut back on waste that you often overlook in a place in which 85 percent to 95 percent of our waste takes place.

One of the biggest issues in a kitchen is the accumulation of solid waste. The Ekokook understands this and has created a way to deal with it. What you do is take your waste and place it in a special compartment of your kitchen. In case you do not know what solid waste is it includes paper, plastic, glass, metal, and basically anything that has no smell. All of this material will be smashed down to the smallest possible size. However, you must separate all of the materials and place them in separate compactor units because being mixed together makes it more difficult to condense.

Water waste is another huge problem in the kitchen. You will no longer have to worry because this kitchen has the ability to take water, collect it, and then recycle it back to you. There are two sinks that allow this to happen. The sink on the left will collect and reprocess the water for you. However, the second sink does something pretty cool. It will collect the water and get rid of all the grease and junk that might be with it. The water is then filtered to water buckets that you can use to water your plants. Tell me that is not cool!

Now for the disgusting yet cool aspect of the kitchen. Any leftover food will be placed in something called the earth worm composer. Believe it or not but there is actual earth worms in this area. These worms are there because they have the ability to break down all of your food waste. They have the ability to turn the waste into perfect food for indoor and outdoor plants as well. So you no longer have to throw all of your waste in the garbage can but can create your own compost in your kitchen.

The best thing its that none of the garbage that is left in your kitchen smells at all. I really enjoyed this aspect. I can also tell you that after watching everything in action and seeing a full demonstration that this is the kitchen of the future. There is no other kitchen out there that can promise you going green like this kitchen. Currently it is still being tweaked before anyone can actually have one in their kitchen but goes to show us that going green is becoming more and more of a reality.
