Can you tell us a bit more about what's needed to maintain a Petal? Does it run on batteries or does it need a power cord? Does it require refills of any kind?
@__tosh thanks for your interest! Petal is plug and play. Plug in to a standard household outlet and you're off to the races. No refills of any kind. Use any bag you'd like.
Cheers, Prim -- Co-inventor.
I have had the pleasure of seeing a prototype, and the way that it froze everything we put in it to something that was just completely a solid frozen block, it's crazy. I can't believe that this doesn't exist already, and that it took literal rocket engineers to actually make it happen.
Whatβs good, Hunters?
Iβm Christie, Petal co-founder and EVP of Social Impact. Weβre pumped to be launching Petal and sharing our journey with you as we go!
So, what is Petal? Why is it a game-changer?
Throughout human history, the disposal of dirty diapers, food waste and all manner of organic waste has looked pretty much the same. Centuries ago, we tossed our garbage in the street, creating dangerous and unsanitary conditions that encouraged the spread of sickness and stink throughout our communities. Something had to change.
So in 1875, we began storing our waste indoors. Trash cans allowed us to contain rotting, stinking, germ-ridden waste in our own homes! Mmmmmmmm! Love me some decaying fish carcass.
And almost nothing about in-house waste disposal has changed since then. Until now.
Others companies have tried filters, chemical air fresheners, and environmentally devastating single-use (and sometimes proprietary) plastic liners. But, at their core, waste bins are still just open containers ripe with rot, stench, and germs. Petal is finally revolutionizing the waste disposal game, for good.
Uniquely designed to fit into any room of your home, Petal is a sleek, responsibly sourced, magically energy-efficient, and technically-unique appliance that freezes organic waste solid to 0Β°F in under 35 minutes. The frigid temperature ensures that nothing leaks and nothing sticks to the reusable plastic pail, eliminating the need for landfill-clogging, single-use plastic liners. Powered by new patent-pending technology, Petal uses less than $1 per month in electricity (thatβs less than a single load of laundry!).
