Can Reencle Decompose Meat or Bones(Beef/Pork/Chicken/Fish)?🍖Updated 9 days ago

Isn't meat supposed to be a "no" for composting? Not with Reencle.

In traditional composting, meat is usually avoided — it tends to cause odor, attract pests, and decompose improperly in an open pile or bin.

Reencle works differently✨. Because it creates real compost through a controlled aerobic microbial process, the unit maintains a balanced internal environment where beneficial microorganisms (Bacillus Smithii) actively break down food waste — including meat — without the issues typical of traditional composting.

✅What can be added:

• Raw, cooked, or fried edible meat/fish (seafood) — including beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and most fish
• Frozen meat/fish: okay to add, but please thaw to room temperature first (see: [Can I Add Frozen Food?])
• Cooked chicken (without bones) can decompose within 24 hours

➡Guidelines for best results:

• Add in small, moderate amounts and cut into smaller pieces for easier decomposition
• Maintain a balanced mix with other food waste rather than adding large amounts of meat alone
• Avoid large bones or excessive fatty/oily portions

🚫What cannot be added:

• Hard or large bones, fish scales, and guts — these are treated as general waste and are difficult to decompose. Please separate these before adding fish to Reencle.
• A trace amount of small, soft fish bones is okay.
