Implementation
Bokashi Bran introduced a managed food waste system using sealed drums, staff training, collection processes and reporting. Food waste was separated at source, treated with Bokashi bran, collected, weighed and tracked.

Hotels | Hospitality | Anonymous Case Study
A KZN hotel group moved from a single-contractor waste model to a lower blended cost model that included full food waste compliance, reporting and managed collections.
BEFORE
R18,059 /month
Single contractor waste cost
- Limited food waste reporting
- Less visibility over organic waste volumes
- Compliance risk as landfill restrictions increase
- No dedicated food waste diversion system
AFTER
Lower blended cost with Bokashi Bran
- Lower overall waste management cost
- Food waste diverted from landfill
- Monthly reporting included
- Compliance pathway improved
- More accountable waste management process
This case study shows that food waste compliance does not always need to be an added cost. In many cases, separating food waste can reduce pressure on general waste collections.
