Compost Bin Charcoal Filter
Two-Pack for the 6.9L Bin
The filter that sits in the lid, and the reason a bench-top compost bin stays liveable past week three.
- Two filters per pack
- Charcoal traps odours in the bin
- Reusable and washable
- Sized for the 6.9L bin, not the Mini
For Christmas, order by 16 December, or 18 December in WA. All dates
Two replacement charcoal filters for the 6.9L Seed & Sprout kitchen compost bin. The filter sits in the lid and is the single reason a bench-top compost bin is liveable rather than something you stop using by week three.
They are designed to be reusable. This pack is for when one gets thrown out with the scraps, which is exactly how Seed & Sprout put it.
Which One Do I Need?
- 6.9L bin. These fit that bin only.
- Mini bin. You need the 5L filter instead.
Key Features
- 2 filters per pack. One spare for later.
- Charcoal traps odours. Inside the bin, rather than covering them.
- Reusable and washable. Not single-use.
- Sized for the 6.9L bin. Not the Mini.
Pūrē Standard
- Charcoal is the oldest odour trick there is. It works by adsorption, physically holding odour molecules rather than covering them with fragrance. Nothing is released into the room.
- Reusable rather than disposable. Most bin filters are a consumable you replace every few months. These wash and go back in, so a two-pack lasts a very long time.
- The bin outlives the filter, and that is the point. A replaceable part is what separates a product you keep for ten years from one you bin when a component wears out.
- Where we would like more. Seed & Sprout do not publish the country of manufacture or the filter's carbon source for this item.

Our Take
Two spare charcoal filters for the 6.9L bin, and the reason bench-top composting stays liveable past week three. They wash and go back in rather than being a consumable. Check your bin size first: the Mini takes a different filter.

Good to know
Frequently asked
How many filters do I get?
Two. This is a 2-pack of replacement charcoal filters.
Will they fit my compost bin?
These are sized for the 6.9L Seed & Sprout kitchen compost bin. If you have the Mini compost bin you need the 5L filter instead, so check your bin before ordering.
Are they reusable?
Yes, they are designed to be washed and reused, not thrown out each time. Seed & Sprout sell replacements mainly because the filter tends to get tipped into the green bin along with the scraps.
How do I clean one?
Wash it in warm soapy water, then air dry both the filter and the bin fully before putting the lid back together.
How does a charcoal filter work?
By adsorption. The charcoal physically holds the odour molecules rather than covering them with fragrance, so nothing is released into the room.
