Hoop Compost
Engineering the Hoop 2.0™ Relaunch
Food waste is a significant environmental challenge, with nearly 60% of the 66 million tons generated in the US ending up in landfills, creating potent methane gas. Traditional countertop bins are often bulky, messy, and odorous. The market needed a streamlined solution to make diverting food scraps simpler and cleaner for everyone.
Introducing: Hoop 2.0™
Unlimit Ventures partnered with the Hoop team to engineer the relaunch of their patented compost collector. Hoop 2.0 is the reinvented, space-saving alternative that installs directly onto your trash can, allowing you to compost without sacrificing counter space.
