 __Temperature__
 Temperature serves as an important indicator of microbial activity during composting. Higher temperatures are expected in containers where the composting process is most active, as increased microbial activity generates heat and causes the compost to warm up.

 __Moisture__
+Moisture is also an important parameter in the composting process. This factor influence which organisms are active and the efficiency of organic matter breakdown. For the first three weeks, two different types of meters were used to measure the moisture. These meters did not give a concrete percentage but the user had to read it off of an indicator. However they did work the same way, by putting the tool into the compost. Both meters showed results around 15 %, as seen in Figure {{ref>flabelresultsmoisturethreewaymeter}} and Figure {{ref>flabelresultsmoisturethegardenpeople}}. The environment was measured by a different tool, made for measuring the humidity. These results provide context for the measurements.

+This was much lower than expected (55 – 65 % ). However, the compost looked moister, suggesting that the measurement tools were not accurate. So, in the fourth week a new meter was used, which can be seen in Figure {{ref>flabelresultsmoisturesoiltester}}.

+This tool was giving readings closer to the expected values. Since there was not much time left, only three measurements were taken with this device. This is not enough to determine the exact moisture levels of the compost.
+However, it can be concluded that there is no clear difference between the different compost bins, suggesting that the amount of airflow does not have a major effect on moisture levels.
+__Odor__
+The smell of the compost was also evaluated throughout the composting process. All three containers gave off a typical "earthy" smell, which was not considered unpleasant. The odor remained largely contained within the boxes and was barely noticeable in the environment.

 ==== - Summary ====
-//Provide here the conclusions of this chapter and make the bridge to the next chapter.//
+This chapter described the development of the Leftlovers Loopbin, from initial concept to the final product.
+The second section covers the ideation phase and the creation of initial sketches. Important considerations during this process were ensuring an attractive appearance, suitability for use in a kitchen and ease of production.
+The third part explains the underlying concept of the product, focusing on the composting process and the key factors involved. The aim was to maximize functionality whilst keeping costs as low as possible.
+The fourth section provides a more detailed analysis of the design. Using theoretical knowledge and the initial sketches, functional and detailed drawings of the Loopbin were created. These illustrated the structure of the product and the way it worked. The choice of materials was based on a comparison of several options to determine the most suitable choice. In addition, a 3D model of the product was developed and subjected to a stress analysis, which the product successfully passed. In addition to the mechanical aspects, the hardware and software components were also developed. Furthermore, the packaging was designed with a possible second life in mind, which promotes sustainability.
+The fifth part describes the development of the prototype and the app that is coming with the product. Both were tested and evaluated, as well as the testing of the composting process itself. All tests delivered positive results.
+Each of these steps, from development to final product and prototype, played a crucial role in this project and was successfully completed. The next chapter provides a reflection on the product and the overall process, with attention to the goals achieved and possible future developments.

+Future improvements could focus on making the product easier and more comfortable to handle by enhancing its ergonomic design. Offering multiple sizes would give clients more flexibility in choosing what suits their needs.
+The product design could be refined, with continuous updates to materials using state-of-the-art options. Adding transparent elements would allow users to view the composting process inside. Making the handles retractable could also reduce the risk of tripping or injury near the device.
+Improving the installation of electronic components could make the product easier to assemble and maintain. Strengthening the app’s cybersecurity features, such as enhanced data protection would help prevent information leaks. Additionally, future versions could explore features that allow users to share their composting activity through the app.
-Adding transparent materials to the design would allow users to see the composting process inside, especially if the mixing mechanism gets blocked. Making the handles retractable would also reduce the chance of tripping or injury near the device.
+Lastly, new markets and target audiences could be expanded to increase the commercial potential.
-Improving how electronic components are installed could make the product easier to assemble and maintain. It is also important to strengthen the app’s cybersecurity features, including better data protection to prevent information leaks. Additionally, features that let users share their composting activity through the app could be explored in future versions.
