KEEPING FOOD WASTE OUT OF LANDFILLS
Waste Management
Everyday we throw out food, not realizing the impact it is having on the environment. In South Africa, we waste 10 million tonnes of food every year.
POLLUTION
Reducing Harmful Gasses
Piles of rotting food in the landfills causes methane gas in the air, which is 20 times more harmful to the environment than carbon di-oxide.

We dispose of all waste sustainably by minimizing environmental impact. Our organic composting helps farmers get nutrients back into the soil.
