Got Food Waste?

We can help!

Taranaki sends thousands of tonnes of food waste to landfill annually. A significant portion comes from commercial kitchens.

We can offer you a hassle-free, local, and scalable food waste diversion system that will be processed and used in Taranaki.

We collect food waste from any organisation or business (hotels, restaurants, cafes, corporate offices), then locally process it using the Bokashi method. This method is easy, hassle-free, and does not require turning and aerating the compost: the bins stay closed.

Learn more about the Bokashi method here.

The resulting pre-compost is then delivered to local farms, market gardens, and community gardens, where it is further refined using the Johnson-Su composting method to create microbial-rich compost that restores soil health.
