Got Food Waste?
We can help!
Taranaki sends thousands of tonnes of food waste to landfill every year.
Green Loop provides a hassle-free, local food waste diversion service for businesses, keeping organic waste in Taranaki and returning it to the land.
We collect food waste from a range of organisations, including hotels, restaurants, cafés, and corporate officesm and process it locally using the Bokashi method. This sealed-bin system is simple to operate, requires no turning or aeration, and is low-odour and low-maintenance.
Learn more about the Bokashi method here.
The resulting pre-compost is then delivered to local farms, where it is further refined using the Johnson-Su composting method to create microbial-rich compost that helps restores soil health.

Testimonials:
Columbus Coffee - Mitre10 MEGA New Plymouth - Nicole Attrill, Marketing & Customer Experience Manager
“One of our main sustainability goals is to reduce our overall waste to landfill, and while we recycle, bale cardboard and soft plastic, a major waste point with having Columbus Coffee has been how to deal with our organic waste.
It is so exciting to be a part of this circular food project.
How great that we can now deal with organic waste locally, to the benefit of local farms to regenerate soil, this will make a big difference to our reduction work.”
Novotel New Plymouth - Jayesh Bala, General Manager
“We signed up [to Green Loop] because we focus on sustainability at Novotel New Plymouth, and we want to understand [more] and do better.
And we believe that Green Loop provides a solution that has a long-term approach to sustainability and being able to give back to farmers through supporting the journey to improved soil health, and that being a closed loop.”
