We have been passionate advocates of composting since 2019 with a focus on doing it indoors. All our items are manufactured in Ottawa by a factory that hires people with disabilities, and we also focus heavily on educating classrooms about recycling organics.

Founding Story

Hi, I'm Akil, beside me is Purrcy, and I'm holding freshly harvested worm poop in my hand!

I started composting to keep him from getting to the food in the trash and fell in love with my worm bin! I want others to experience the same joy. Recycling kitchen scraps into plant food is SO EMPOWERING! Not to mention how good it is for our soil (and mental) health.

The Box Of Life is a social enterprise that runs classroom programs, empowers local communities (currently in Ottawa and Kelowna), manufactures in Ottawa, and we want to make an impact from coast to coast to coast.

If you're looking for ways to do that in your community, we would love to help you do that through our Partnership Program.
