Sažetak
In this work, the design process of the small plastic composter for the home usage and educational purposes is presented. Certain requirements on the composting space and composting mass are presented, and, along with the manufacturing and logistical aspects, all were taken in consideration when evaluating design concepts. Numerical simulations of injection moulding and static structural loading were employed to evaluate design validity. Composting process was experimentally conducted, and satisfactory results were obtained, proving the design of the composter and its chosen geometry parameters valid.
