In the context of Mexico City, it is estimated that an average citizen generates 0.38kg of organic waste daily, which translates to 1.6 kg of CO2 Equivalent if sent to the landfill. A Wormsbox (380g of earthworms) represents the amount of worms needed to process all the waste produced by this citizen.

Under optimal conditions, the number of worms can double within a range of 2 to 3 months, resulting in another Wormsbox that can be sold or donated to a nearby neighbor who wants to compost their organic waste.
