When their progressive hometown, Boulder, Colorado, initiated a curbside composting program Van and Kristen jumped at the opportunity to create a tool to make composting easy, clean and practical for all homes – big or small – to help reduce the amount of kitchen scraps and other organic waste.

Over years of tinkering and tweaking the product, Van and Kristen created a design unlike any others, including foot pedal-activated clamps for opening and closing the compost bag to eliminate odors, messes and fruit flies. 

On a mission to make an environmental impact through composting, the father-daughter duo of Van and Kristen Hess, introduced an innovative new way to compost, turning a dream into a bona fide company.

Mission :

CompoKeeper technology was created to help keep kitchens­- the heart of the home­- clean and comfortable, just like they should be. We inspire clean spaces for those that long for homes that are tidier, healthier and more efficient. Our long term goal is to make the world cleaner, one mess at a time with containers that are intuitive to use and clean to keep.
