Root: Composting Made Simple

Hey Product Hunters 👋 I’m Victor, founder of Sepura, and I built Root because dealing with food scraps at home is messy, it smells, and there are fruit flies, counter clutter, and those sad little bins. Traditional disposals are loud or wasteful, dehydrators take up too much counter space, and composting by hand, well, most people don't like that. What makes Root different: - It hangs under the sink and separates solids from liquids right at the drain, so you don’t have to handle smelly mush. - Sealed, removable bin that locks in odors, and parts are machine-washable. - One-button wireless control, with smart self-cleaning routines to make maintenance easy. - Designed to be quiet, simple, and automated. I’m most proud of how far we’ve come from sketches to a working prototype that actually fits into real kitchens. (We've tested it in real kitchens with beta testers across North America with widely different kitchen setups.) If you’re curious: - Ask me about how we solved odor control or plumbing integration. - Curious how we went from mockups to functional unit? I can share the timeline + lessons. - Want to see alternatives we rejected, or why we settled on a sealed bin vs grinding? I’d love that discussion. I’m here all day — happy to answer any questions, take feedback, or talk through ideas. Thanks for checking out Root, and I hope it resonates with folks who hate handling food waste as much as I do. 🙏
