Next up is Ben McGirr, founder of Kompo, a first-time founder from Ireland.

Launched in 2025, Kompo is a countertop food composter that dries and grinds kitchen scraps into an odour-free material that can be used as plant fuel via a dual charcoal filter.

The £249 gadget, which only uses 20p of electricity per cycle, claims to reduce the volume of food waste by up to 80% in four to eight hours.
