Revolutionise Your Commercial Kitchen Waste Management

At Bokashi Bran, we specialise in separated-at-source food waste collections from commercial kitchens, recognising the critical importance of diverting this waste stream away from traditional landfills. Our mission is to provide sustainable waste management solutions that not only adhere to city bylaws but also contribute to a healthier environment.

Why Separate Food Waste?

City bylaws mandate that any organisation generating waste must manage it responsibly to avoid harm to the environment and public health. Mixing food waste with general waste can have dire consequences, as it typically results in landfill disposal, leading to the release of harmful methane gas and leachate. By 2027, organic waste will be prohibited in landfills. (National Waste Minimisation Strategy)

For organisations serving food to the public, it’s a legal requirement to utilise a “daily” or “putrescible” waste collection service from an accredited provider. Pikitup, operating within the Johannesburg region, offers this service at a rate of R3,579 per tonne.

Bokashi Bran’s Expertise

With seven years of experience, Bokashi Bran has been at the forefront of collecting food waste from commercial kitchens and delivering it to multiple commercial composting facilities. Our dedicated collection team carefully weighs and records food waste, allowing us to calculate the significant carbon footprint reduction achieved through composting.

Instead of collecting drums and swapping them out, we empty your drums directly on-site. This guarantees that you never receive someone else’s old, potentially odorous drums. Your drums can then be cleaned and kept hygienic directly on your site.

Contamination in the form of plastic, tin, glass, cloth, and non-food waste items is a major concern at compost sites. To mitigate this risk, we’ve implemented a contamination penalty for negligent food waste separation. Our Bokashi Bran system is meticulously designed to establish standard operating procedures, allocating responsibility and accountability to key kitchen personnel.

Inside our drums, you’ll find clear markings indicating the correct dosing of Bokashi. Just 8 kilograms of our Bokashi can effectively treat 1 tonne of food waste, all at an affordable cost of less than R400 per tonne.
