What We Do

We utilize a variety of effective composting methods that not only transform organic waste into nutrient-rich compost but also control odours, ensuring a clean and manageable process for urban environments like Dubai or Abu Dhabi.

 

Vermicomposting

Thousands of worms Raised

One of our specialties is vermicomposting, where composting worms like African Nightcrawlers consume organic waste and turn it into high-quality worm castings. This process takes place in well-ventilated worm bins, which further eliminates odours.

Forced Air In-Vessel Composting

Custom composting Vessels

In-vessel aerobic composting is an efficient, scalable technology that processes organic waste in a controlled system, producing nutrient-rich compost in weeks while reducing odors and pathogens. Suitable for villas, households, and urban centers like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, it diverts waste from landfills, lowers methane emissions, and provides home gardeners and farmers with high-quality compost to support regenerative agriculture.

 
 

Fermentation Composting (Bokashi)

Anaerobic Bokashi power

For tougher organic waste like meat, bones, and dairy, we use Bokashi fermentation. This anaerobic process involves adding microbes to airtight containers, controlling odors while preparing the waste for soil integration or traditional composting. At worm.ae, we create efficient, odor-free composting systems adaptable to urban settings, turning organic waste into valuable compost without disrupting daily life.

 
 
 

Our story

A Vision of Health and Sustainability with Lucian Acaru

Worm.ae was born from the vision of Lucian Acaru, a personal trainer and nutritionist with a passion for holistic well-being. With a deep understanding of how nutrition impacts overall health, Lucian extends this philosophy to the soil, recognizing that healthy, nutrient-rich food begins with sustainable farming practices. His journey into vermiculture and composting stems from a desire to reduce food waste and promote natural, organic farming solutions in the UAE.

Lucian’s commitment to sustainability is deeply personal. Using regenerative agriculture practices, he transformed his back garden in Dubai from barren desert into lush greenery. Through composting and creating living soil, Lucian worked with nature to revive the land, demonstrating the power of natural systems to restore vitality to even the most challenging environments. His success in building healthy, living soil has been the foundation for Worm.ae’s mission.

At Worm.ae, we believe that what nourishes the soil ultimately nourishes the body. Through our work with composting and vermiculture, we emphasize the importance of recycling organic waste and eliminating the need for synthetic fertilizers. Just as Lucian helps his clients achieve balance and strength through proper nutrition, Worm.ae works to restore balance to the environment, creating healthier soils, plants, and ecosystems.

Our mission is not only to improve agricultural practices but also to foster a deeper connection between what we consume and where it comes from—encouraging a lifestyle that supports both personal health and environmental sustainability.
