Food-waste recycling in the hospitality industry addresses the challenges of managing organic waste while promoting sustainability and environmentally responsible practices.
Cost-effective solutions can save you money in the medium term while reducing the risks associated with waste servicing.
On-site solutions provide true cost savings vs. landfilling while contributing to environmental sustainability programmes.
Recycling your food waste at home helps conserve landfill space while lowering the demand placed on municipal waste-management services.

The Earth Cycler is a fully automated, optionally data-connected, in-vessel composting system designed for continuous, flow-through food-waste processing. Manufactured in South Africa, the Earth Cycler is available in two models with processing capacities of 5 tonnes per month and 10 tonnes per month. All units are developed and built locally. As a continuous flow-through solution, the Earth Cycler can process up to 10,000 kg of food waste per month, plus carbon inputs such as waste cardboard, egg cartons, and certified compostable packaging. The system accepts all types of food waste, including cooked and raw foods waste. With a maximum energy consumption of just 34 kWh per month, the Earth Cycler offers exceptionally low power usage and is compatible with off-grid energy systems via an inverter. The Earth Cycler is a cost-effective, easy-to-use composting solution designed to simplify on-site food-waste management while supporting sustainable operations.
Records inputs and outputs while generating impact reports (including CO2e emission savings).
Food waste can represent up to 60% of waste going to landfill.
The output from the composter can be used in gardening or even as a feedstock to produce organic fertiliser.
Food waste rots and therefore needs to be uplifted more frequently than other waste.
On-site food waste composting helps reduce loads to landfills while also adding valuable nutrients to soil.
Our on-site food waste composting solutions use very little energy. This is by design and helps reduce carbon footprints further.
On-site solutions enable you to be in control of your waste management system. Composting on site can reduce logistic costs and the risk of non-collection (or delayed collection) of putrescible food waste.
Our on-site food waste composting solutions are cost effective when compared to the cost of sending organic waste to a landfill.
We provide dashboards to help you measure your impact. Measurement helps you manage (and reduce) your food waste leading to food cost savings.
UK statistics measure the CO2e saving of food waste composting to be 617kg/tonne vs. landfilling.
All Earth Cycler’s weigh and record the amount of organic waste added to the composter. This data is then recorded and published to online dashboards
CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalents) savings are based on the DEFRA conversion factor of 617kg/tonne vs. landfilling.
Landfill airspace is a scarce municipal commodity. Reducing landfill loads is key to keeping them open and thus available for non compostable general waste.
Our on-site food waste composting solutions have been implemented across South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Mozambique.
We are able to export within the Southern African Development Zone.
