In 2019, there was over 40 million tons of food waste in the US but only 5% was composted.

We're working to change this by making composting fresher than ever.

NuScent is revolutionizing composting by tackling one of its biggest barriers: unpleasant odors.

Using synthetic biology, we engineer bacteria to produce pleasant scents like peppermint and lavender, making composting more accessible and appealing for urban households.

Our solutions not only enhance the composting experience but also repel pests, encouraging sustainable food waste management.

With a focus on community education and cutting-edge science , we aim to foster a greener, more sustainable urban environment.
