Lowtech Graph lists low-tech options for every need of a home. Here you can compare them, find tutorials to build them, and link them together into a circular system. Why low-tech?
Passive
Note: Cost, carbon and footprint are broad judgements against comparable building approaches, not measured figures.
A set of bins in the kitchen for sorting waste as it is thrown away: food scraps, recycling and the rest. Sorting at the moment of throwing away is quick and becomes a habit. Less goes to landfill and the food scraps can be composted.
No build tutorial recorded yet.
The only option catalogued for this need so far, so there is nothing to compare it against.
We don’t list sizing or quantities, as the yield of each technique depends on the quality of its build. The catalogue compares options but doesn’t dimension them. Regulatory notes are indicative, with a French example, and need to be confirmed locally.
