Find out why we prefer the ceramic vs the Oxo Good Grips compost bin…
There is quite a bit of buzz about the Oxo Good Grips Compost Bin. Is it because of it’s the unique design? Or is it because it’s parent company is Helen Of Troy Limited, making it a designer compost bin of sorts? Whatever the reason, the Oxo Good Grips Compost Bin is still killing it at retail stores throughout the U.S.
The Oxo Good Grips Compost Bin has a somewhat unique design. Unlike many, it has a handle that allows you to easily carry it to an outdoor composter or garden. The lid flips up for easy filling and flips down to lock in odors. It has smooth interior walls, which prevent foods and liquids from building up. Additionally, the internal bucket is removable and dishwasher safe for thorough cleaning.
Besides all of this the OXO Good Grips Compost Bin stores all of your food scraps in a chic, stylish manner. It’s petite and attractive enough to grace your countertop, offering you the countertop convenience that a fabulous person like you deserves.
Most importantly, the Oxo Good Grips Compost Bin is a way to keep your kitchen clean and you environmentally responsible. It’s a nice, low-profile option that makes composting easy.
Now as good as it sounds I was actually not sold on this one. In honoring my commitment to zero waste I just couldn’t bring myself to purchase another hunk of plastic, especially in the name of zero waste.
So instead, I went with the Norpro Ceramic Compost Crock. It’s attractive design still allowed me to compost in an attractive way. It has a sturdy stainless steel handle for mobility. Additionally, it comes with an eco-friendly, replaceable charcoal odor filter that fits into the lid. The filter lasts up to 6 months.
Utimately, I love both options. Though the Oxo Good Grip doesn’t deliver the zero waste message as comprehensively as Norpro it’s still a partial win. The Oxo Good Grip is very well-constructed making it a highly effective compost bin. Moreover, if it takes this designer compost bin to encourage people to compost than it’s a win. Who cares if there really isn’t anything eco-friendly about it’s construction? The fact that it’s encouraging zero waste habits among consumers who may not otherwise do so is just what the planet needs. If nothing else, it’s a step in the right direction.
What’s your preference? Do you prefer ceramic vs the Oxo Good Grips compost bin?
