It's not magic, but a natural biological process, only faster and more efficient than in nature!
During composting, bacteria decompose organic waste. The Reencle composter accelerates this process by creating the optimal environment for decomposition from the very beginning.

Formation of endospores: Bacillus can survive for a long time even under dry or difficult conditions.
