About us

The company founder and inventor of the SUPERCOMP, Reinhard Schmidl, as city manager of a small Austrian town, was significantly involved in many environmental projects of this municipality, such as the world's first energy saving fair, near-natural flood protection projects with retention basins including eco-zone and finally also in the introduction of waste separation. The aim was to reduce the expensive and ecologically disadvantageous removal of organic waste as much as possible and to replace it with home composting.

But although the population was regularly informed by experts via the municipal newspaper, in lectures and at composting parties, the usual problems with the work of turning the pile and hygiene (odor nuisance, insects) occurred. The professional setting up of the pile could be classified in the category of “wishful thinking”, because the organic waste was simply thrown on a pile and the turning was saved – with the resulting hygiene problems of foul odors and insect infestation.

The need for a new system for home composting was obvious and Schmidl began - in the absence of existing alternatives - with the first development of the  SUPERCOMP, which is intended to eliminate exactly these problems. From the basic idea to today's generation of the SUPERCOMP it was a long road with many development steps, which often ended in "dead ends". But ultimately the work paid off, as exactly those problems of home composting could be eliminated and solved with the SUPERCOMP .

Schmidl is still happy to help many customers with his knowledge of various problems. Since he has been able to gather sufficient experience with regard to home composting for municipalities, he also preferably advises this sector.
