THE CAPE'S FOOD WASTE TO LANDFILL BAN IS NOW OPERATIONAL.

New Regulations

“The Western Cape Government has instructed all organic waste generators to divert 50% of their organic waste away from landfills by 2022, and 100% by 2027.”

Management Plans

The new regulations require any business that generates organic waste to submit an “integrated waste management plan” outlining how they will reduce (and eliminate) organic waste going to landfill.

Landfilling Costs

As part of the plan to eliminate organic wast to landfill, the cost of landfilling is rising (and will continue to be more and more expensive).

Earth Bokashi commercial food waste recycling bins

Stacks Image 4617164

Bokashi composting is great for small commercial kitchens and canteens generating volumes up to 1,500kg per month.
Available in 50L or 100L bins the bokashi fermentation keeps your kitchen clean, vermin and odour free.

  • Food waste ferments and does not rot.
  • Closed system so no fly or vermin infestations.
  • If a collection service is required, costs can be reduced by reducing upliftment frequency (no rotting so no smells).

  • This is a flow through system with a very small footprint (fits into a car parking space).
  • Energy consumption is very low at about 3kW per day.
  • The Earth Cycler measures inputs and output weights as well as compost temperature.
  • All functions are controlled through a touch pad on the composter or via a mobile phone.
  • A data link enables the Earth Cycler to be remotely managed and receive over-the-air software updates.
  • The Earth Cycler measures, in real time, waste input and outputs. This data is readily available in .csv format directly from the machine or via online dashboards.
