Reducing Household Waste from Your Kitchen
According to a survey for fiscal year 2026 published by the Ministry of the Environment in March 2026, Japan’s household waste generation amounts to 21.17 million tons annually, with an average of 466g per person per day.
While overall household waste is on a downward trend, daily cooking and eating continue to produce vegetable scraps, fruit peels, and leftovers. Especially during the summer, many find the prospect of storing food waste indoors until the next collection day burdensome due to odors, hygiene concerns, fruit flies, and the weight of trash bags.
SOPPY addresses the burdens of “storage” and “disposal” of waste. By drying and crushing food waste at home into a compact state, the aim is to reduce the time food waste remains in the kitchen and alleviate the associated psychological stress.
The 3-Step “Put it in at night, fresh in the morning” Process

- Put food waste in at night after cooking: Place vegetable scraps, fruit peels, and leftovers from dinner preparation and cleanup into the dedicated container.
- Press the button for automatic processing: The device automatically performs drying, crushing, and cooling according to the amount and moisture content of the food waste. No complex settings are required; the basic operation involves simply placing the waste in the unit and pressing a button.
- Remove dried waste the next morning: After processing, the moisture and volume of the food waste are reduced, leaving fine dried material. Processing overnight allows for a fresh start in the kitchen the next morning.
Processing time varies from approximately 2 to 8 hours depending on the input amount, type of food, moisture content, and usage environment.
Four Key Features of the SOPPY Household Food Waste Disposer
1. Reduces Food Waste by Up to 96%

Moisture contained in food waste is heated and dried, then finely crushed. Internal tests confirmed a maximum reduction of approximately 96%, with 1,220g of food waste before processing reducing to 48.8g afterward. This reduction in volume and weight of food waste helps minimize trash bag usage and lighten the burden of waste disposal.
Results are based on internal tests. The reduction rate varies depending on the type, moisture content, amount of input, and usage environment.
2. Enhanced Odor Control: Dual Deodorization with Ozone and Activated Carbon

To address concerns about odors during food waste processing, a dual deodorization system combining an ozone deodorization function and an activated carbon filter has been adopted. Ozone targets and breaks down odor sources, while the activated carbon filter adsorbs remaining odors. This suppresses the unique smells of food waste that tend to occur during drying, leading to a more comfortable kitchen environment.
3. Quiet Operation at Approximately 38dB

The operating sound is approximately 38dB, thanks to its quiet design. This makes it easy to use even at night when the family is asleep, fitting seamlessly into the “put it in at night, take it out in the morning” daily routine.
4. Cleaning Mode for Reduced Daily Maintenance

The unit is equipped with a cleaning mode. By adding water to the container after use and selecting the cleaning mode, internal dirt and fine residue are washed away. The processing container is also removable, making it easy to maintain a clean state for a kitchen appliance used daily.

Developer’s Comment
“Our household food waste disposer was developed with the desire to make daily food waste processing cleaner and more comfortable, addressing common concerns in the kitchen such as the volume of waste, odors, and the hassle of disposal. Designed under the supervision of Japanese designers, taking into account the Japanese kitchen environment and ease of use, it features simple operation and a design that blends into daily life. It is manufactured in a specialized factory in China.
The drying, crushing, and cooling processes compact food waste, helping to reduce waste volume, odors, and disposal burdens. The processed organic matter can be mixed with soil and matured for a certain period to be reused as a soil improver for home gardens and gardening. This kitchen appliance is recommended for those who want to reduce the amount of food waste and the frequency of disposal, or who are concerned about food waste odors during summer or the rainy season.”
