1
The Challenge

Hotel kitchens generate food waste around the clock across multiple outlets. It contaminates recyclables, drives up costs and creates compliance risk. From 2027, zero organics to landfill is the law.

2
Legislation

Zero organics to landfill by 1 Jan 2027. Western Cape hotels must submit IWM Plans to the City of Cape Town. Your IEMA-certified certificate is your proof of compliance.

CARBON CERTIFICATE
INCLUDED

Food waste compliance
for restaurants.
Simple by design.

The 2027 landfill ban applies to every commercial kitchen in South Africa. We make compliance straightforward, measurable and cost-neutral.

1,314,915 kg

diverted across all clients in 2025

100+

active commercial kitchen clients nationally

2027

zero organics to landfill deadline

1
The Challenge

Restaurant kitchens generate food waste continuously — prep waste, plate scrapings, bones, spent ingredients and spoiled produce. Plate scraping is a major contributor, and when food waste enters general waste it contaminates everything around it. High staff turnover and busy shifts mean the system must stay extremely simple. Separating food waste reduces general waste volume and can make the Bokashi Bran service cost-neutral within the first three months.

2
Legislation
  • Zero organics to landfill by 1 January 2027 under GRN 636, 2013.
  • Western Cape food service operators must divert 100% organic waste by 2027.
  • City of Cape Town enforces this through Integrated Waste Management Plan requirements.
  • Non-compliance can lead to compliance notices, fines and criminal liability under NEMA.
3
How the System Works

A blue 50-litre drum sits next to each kitchen bin. All food waste goes in — cooked food, raw prep waste, meat, dairy and bones. Staff add three scoops of Bokashi Bran inoculant every 7 cm and seal the drum. Bokashi fermentation prevents odour and pests. Bokashi Bran collects, weighs and records the waste on the app. Monthly reports and an annual IEMA-certified carbon certificate are included.

4
Proof

Existing clients include single-site restaurants and multi-outlet food service operations across Gauteng, Cape Town and KwaZulu-Natal.

Contact Bronwyn for sector-specific data:

Zero odour

sealed drums eliminate pest and hygiene risks

2027

zero organics to landfill deadline

1
The Challenge

Hospital kitchens operate around the clock, feeding patients, staff and visitors across multiple catering streams with strict hygiene requirements.

Food waste in a clinical environment carries additional risk. Poorly managed organic waste creates odour, attracts pests and can compromise the sterile environment your patients depend on.

2
Legislation

The Waste Act requires holders of waste to avoid generation and minimise landfill disposal. GRN 636 bans food waste from landfill from 1 January 2027.

Regulation 638 adds additional hygiene obligations for food waste management in healthcare food service settings.

3
How the System Works

Sealed 50-litre drums prevent odour, flies and pest attraction. Food waste is fermented rather than rotting, creating a safer and more hygienic process.

Collections are scheduled 2–3 times per week for hospital-scale operations, with all drums weighed and recorded on the Bokashi Bran® app.

Food waste compliance
for schools and
universities.

The 2027 deadline applies to your canteen and residence kitchens too. St Andrews School for Girls has been compliant since 2024 — with zero contaminated drums.

8,105 kg

diverted by St Andrews School for Girls in 2025

0

contaminated drums across two full years

255

trees equivalent planted by one school in 2025

1
The Challenge

School and university canteens generate consistent food waste during term time across multiple meal services. The challenge is consistency — especially with limited staff, pupil participation and stop-start collection patterns.

For boarding schools and universities, food waste also comes from residence dining halls, tuck shops and event catering.

2
Legislation

The Waste Act requires holders of waste to avoid and minimise waste disposal. GRN 636 bans food waste from landfill from 1 January 2027.

Schools, universities, canteens, residences and event catering facilities are all subject to compliance obligations under NEMA.

3
How the System Works

Sealed blue drums sit at every waste point. Kitchen and dining hall staff separate food waste at source, add Bokashi Bran® inoculant every 7cm and seal the drum.

Collections are scheduled to term time, with fewer collections during holidays and higher frequency during peak term weeks.

4
Proof

St Andrews School for Girls, Johannesburg is a named, verified example.

In 2025, the school diverted 8,105 kg from landfill, saved 5.60t CO²e, achieved 255 trees equivalent and recorded zero contaminated drums.

Term-time flexibility

Collection frequency adjusts with the school calendar. No fixed minimum during holidays.

Student engagement

Monthly volumes, CO²e savings and trees equivalent support eco-committee reports.

Multiple waste points

Drums can be placed at main kitchens, tuck shops, residences and events catering.

2027

zero organics to landfill deadline

98%

reduction in GHG emissions vs landfilling food waste

1
The Challenge

A shopping centre food court generates food waste from multiple independent tenants with different kitchen setups, staff and environmental awareness levels.

The facilities team needs one system that works across all tenants without daily policing.

2
Legislation

Shopping centres and food tenants are holders of waste under the Waste Act.

GRN 636 bans food waste from landfill from 1 January 2027. Embedding compliance into lease conditions helps manage legal and sustainability risk.

3
How the System Works

Drums are placed at every food waste generation point across food tenants.

Collections are managed centrally by Bokashi Bran, with one invoice, one report and one IEMA-certified certificate for centre management.

4
Proof

Silverstar Casino, West Rand is a multi-tenant food service environment with a central catering operation plus 12 independent food outlet tenants.

The programme achieved measurable waste, cost and hygiene improvements.

Multi-tenant management

One Bokashi Bran® contract covers all food tenants, with one invoice, report and certificate.

Onsite composting

available for remote and off-grid properties

All food waste

treated including game and bush cooking

2027

zero organics to landfill deadline

1
The Challenge

Guest houses and lodges operate at smaller scale than hotels, but with the same compliance obligations. A 12-room game lodge preparing three meals a day still generates food waste that must be diverted from landfill by 2027.

The practical challenge for remote properties is logistics. Collection may not be viable in areas such as the Sabi Sands or Drakensberg foothills.

2
Legislation

Guest houses, lodges and game reserves are commercial food service operators and holders of waste under NEMA.

GRN 636 bans food waste from landfill from 1 January 2027. Remote location does not exempt a property from compliance.

3
How the System Works

For properties with collection access, Bokashi Bran uses sealed drums, scheduled collection, app-based weight capture, monthly reports and an annual certificate.

For remote properties, bokashi-treated food waste is composted onsite with garden and grounds waste to create nutrient-rich compost.

4
Proof

Safari resort properties are already using a self-managed onsite composting model.

This allows remote properties to document food waste diversion, avoid collection costs and produce compost for gardens and landscaping.

Remote location

Onsite composting available for properties not serviced by a collection route. Fully documented and IEMA-certifiable.

Game and bush cooking

Treats game meat, fish, dairy and cooked food — materials conventional composting cannot handle hygienically.

Eco-tourism credentials

Annual carbon certificate supports Fair Trade Tourism, Eco-Awards and green accommodation ratings.

Small kitchen volumes

Collection frequency and drum quantities scale to the property size, from guest houses to safari lodges.

Onsite composting

Fully documented food waste composting at remote safari and resort properties.

Zero collection costs

Remote onsite model removes the need for external collection routes.

Compost output

Finished compost can be used for property gardens, landscaping or food gardens.

9,524 kg

peak month at one centre during conference season

2027

zero organics to landfill deadline

1
The Challenge

Conference centres generate food waste in patterns unlike any other commercial kitchen. A quiet week with one meeting creates a fraction of the waste from a major multi-day conference.

The system has to handle both without constant manual intervention.

2
Legislation

Conference centres and event venues are commercial food service operators and holders of waste under NEMA.

GRN 636 bans food waste from landfill from 1 January 2027. Large event venues need documented proof of diversion for any event, on any date.

3
How the System Works

Additional drums can be deployed for large conferences and collected immediately after. Every drum is weighed and recorded on the Bokashi Bran® app.

Between events, the system maintains a baseline for daily kitchen and catering waste.

4

2027

zero organics to landfill deadline

1
The Challenge

Correctional facilities operate one of the most consistent food service operations in any institutional sector: three meals a day, 365 days a year, for a fixed population.

The food waste profile is predictable, high-volume and continuous, making facilities easier to size and schedule for collection.

2
Legislation

The Department of Correctional Services and private correctional facility operators are holders of waste under NEMA.

GRN 636 bans food waste from landfill from 1 January 2027. Government departments are subject to the same compliance obligations as private sector operators.

3
How the System Works

The Bokashi Bran® system is suited to institutional kitchens. Drums are placed at every waste point and kitchen staff follow a simple three-step process: separate, treat, seal.

Collections are typically scheduled 2–3 times per week, with app-based weight capture and monthly reporting.

2027

zero organics to landfill deadline

1
The Challenge

A corporate canteen feeding 500 to 2,000 employees daily generates significant food waste that has no business going to landfill from 2027.

It also represents a gap in your organisation’s environmental footprint that sustainability teams, CDP reporters and JSE climate disclosure frameworks will increasingly require to be addressed.

2
Legislation

Corporate canteen operators are holders of waste under NEMA. GRN 636 bans food waste from landfill from 1 January 2027.

The Carbon Tax Act creates additional financial incentive for documented emissions reduction.

3
How the System Works

Drums are placed at every waste point in the kitchen and serving area. Catering staff follow the three-step process, whether in-house or contracted.

1
The Challenge

A golf club or country club generates food waste from multiple catering streams — clubhouse restaurant, spike bar, halfway house, competitions, corporate golf days and weddings.

Volumes are event-driven, with tournament peaks that can more than double normal kitchen output.

2
Legislation

Golf clubs and country clubs are commercial food service operators and holders of waste under NEMA.

GRN 636 bans food waste from landfill from 1 January 2027. Food service permits and liquor licences do not remove environmental compliance obligations.

3
How the System Works

Kyalami Country Club implemented Bokashi Bran® in October 2025 and chose the onsite composting model.

Food waste from the clubhouse kitchen is treated, composted in the club’s grounds and returned to the course as compost.

4
Proof

Kyalami Country Club, Gauteng is a named, verified onsite composting client.

7,689 kg has been composted on site since October 2025, with 0 contaminated drums across seven months of operation.

1
The Challenge

Fuel station forecourt food operations generate consistent, manageable volumes from standardised kitchen formats across hundreds of sites.

The compliance challenge is not complexity — it is scale. A national rollout needs one provider with footprint, systems and reporting capability.

2
Legislation

Forecourt food operations are commercial food service operators and holders of waste under NEMA.

GRN 636 bans food waste from landfill from 1 January 2027. Carbon Tax legislation adds further incentive for certified emissions reduction at network scale.
