Junkan Zukuri Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, Representative Director: Masashi Hamaya) officially launched its digital compost 'ComposPet' on April 14, 2026 (Tuesday) via the ComposPet official EC site. ComposPet is a new form of compost that transforms the traditionally difficult analog composting process into an exciting 'pet-raising' experience using sensors and an app. To commemorate the official launch, a half-price monitor campaign for the first 10 customers has also started. The development background highlights that traditional home composting faced challenges such as lack of guidance, concerns about odors and insects, and difficulty in assessing compost quality. 'ComposPet' addresses these issues with technology and character guides. By combining 'compost x digital pet', it offers a new way to enjoy composting. Sensors inside the compost measure moisture and temperature in real-time, providing advice via a smartphone app. Users can also record temperature changes and food waste added. The device features a photocatalyst coating inside to decompose odors, making it safe for indoor use in apartments and condominiums without concerns about insects. Junkan Zukuri Co., Ltd. aims to create 'small circular economies' through 'circularity x fun', inspiring changes in people's lifestyles and awareness. The product lineup includes: ComposPet Home: 25,000 JPY (tax included) (indoor, with sensor and app), ComposPet Garden: 12,000 JPY (tax included) (outdoor, with sensor and app), ComposPet Bag: 5,800 JPY (tax included) (outdoor, without sensor and app), ComposPet Box: 3,500 JPY (tax included) (outdoor, without sensor and app), ComposPet Base: 2,500 JPY (tax included) (additional base material). The campaign offers a half-price monitor price for the first 10 customers, with coupons distributed via the ComposPet LINE official channel. The company was established in June 2024, with its business activities including the development, manufacturing, sales, and service of compost, and consulting on circular economy businesses.
