Our product is a home machine that converts discarded vegetables and fruits into natural inks for drawing. It addresses the problem of the 17.7 million tonnes of fruit and vegetable waste in the EU each year, and in particular the 28% non-edible portion of this. And traditional kids' inks contain harmful chemicals with significant environmental impacts. Our machine encourages eco-awareness in families, especially those with children, by providing a fun and educational drawing experience. It's user-friendly and easy to maintain: simply load the waste, press start, and rinse parts under water.
