Compost day made easy.
Sepura tranforms you and your family into environmentalists. No more smelling last week's dinner, no more cleaning mystery liquids out of your garbage bin, and no more fruit flies. Sepura makes sustainability simple.
Time for an upgrade
Your sink made smart.
Dealing with your food scraps is a messy, gross, and sometimes environmentally-damaging process that no one enjoys. Sepura makes dealing with food scraps clean, fast, and good for the planet.
Let us do the work.
Sepura installs under your sink (hello more counter space) and uses innovative technology to seperate 99.9% of the solids you put down your drain into a sealed, odourless container while allowing liquids to flow through.
The days of food scraps damaging pipes, your septic field, and our planet are behind us now.
No more odors.
The worst part of dealing with food waste is the smell. We engineered Sepura to block all odors from escaping the bin. Controlled air intakes in the back of the unit and a custom carbon filter at the top neautralize all odors, meaning you don't need to plug your nose anymore.
Goodbye garbage disposals. We won't miss you.

Most of the food waste you send down your garbage disposal ends up in the landfill, which causes high levels of greenhouse gas emissions. By seperating your food waste, Sepura makes it easy to put your food waste in a green bin program or your backyard compost. Sepura allows your food scraps to be repurposed for good.
Garbage disposals use big motors to grind up your food waste, and require gallons of water to complete the job. Sepura uses less power than an LED lightbulb while operating, and doesn't require any water to run, saving you money from both your power and water bills.
You should never use a garbage disposal on a septic field. On the other hand, Sepura is better to have on a septic field than to not have due to how much solid matter is sorted out prior to liquids flowing down the drain.
Garbage disposals are loud and nasty, and you'd be lying if you said you weren't at least a little afraid of them. Sepura is quieter than a dishwasher while operating, and can even recgonize if a finger is in the drain which causes the auger to stop spinning to allow for safe retrieval.
You know that list of things you can't put down your garbage disposal that you can never fully remember? You don't need to worry about that with Sepura. Sepura can handle anything you throw at it, as long as it fits down the 3" opening (yes-- even bones). Remember to check with your local guidelines if participating in a green bin program, however.
Because of how bad garbage disposals are for your pipes and the planet, they are being banned in many areas across North America. Go ahead, look it up! You'll be surpirsed. Sepura was specifially engineered to be allowed everywhere, even in areas where disposals have been banned.
Sustainability made simple.
Everyone wants to do their part to help the planet, but doing so usually means compromise. With Sepura, helping the planet has never been easier.
Your food waste is automatically collected for you, and you won't smell a thing. When it finally comes time to empty, you can either empty your bin into a curb-side green bin or your backyard compost.

With its adjustable bin height (17" - 22") and universal sink mount, Sepura is designed to be installed in any kitchen sink and space, adapting to all sizes and even providing a connection to built-in dishwasher drains.
With LED volume indicators displayed on the front of Sepura you’ll never have to guess about when it’s time to empty your collection bin. The four lights correspond to level of fullness.
Sepura’s stick free surfaces and patented technology provides a way to clean itself as you use it, so you don’t have to.
Sepura can detect any large non-food items entering the drain, stopping and allowing you to safely remove the item before starting up again.
Sepura can detect backups in your drain and alert you.
Because Sepura separates instead of grinds your food waste, it is therefore quiet, uses less power, and sends nothing but liquid into your sewage line. Also, most importantly, you won’t chop your fingers off!

How do I install it?
Sepura uses the exact same connections as a garbage disposal. However, because Sepura requires much less power, a standard wall plug is all you need to power Sepura.
How often do I need to empty it?
Depending on use Sepura will need to emptied every two to four weeks on average.
Can I use bags in the bin?

Do you grind up the food scraps?
No, unlike a garbage disposal, Sepura simply seperates solids from liquids as opposed to grinding it up. This is why Sepura is allowed everywhere-- because no food makes it down the drain into your pipes.
How often do I need to clean it?
Sepura is self-cleaning so you will never need to clean the seperation component.
Can I attach my dishwasher overflow to Sepura?
Sepura comes with an optional dishwasher drain adapter that allows you to connect your dishwasher to.
