It’s a closed system, self-powered desktop scanner.

The scanner is plugged into your computer as normal, by USB.

You feed your paper into the scanner, which is also a shredder. The paper is shredded and falls through the desk, where it lands in a compost heap, which is fills with mulch and worm. The worms digest the paper and, as you know, release methane. The methane is burned, a turbine turned, and a battery charged… into which is plugged the scanner.

The scanned data proceeds to the computer.
