WE ARE HE RE TO ASK YOU THE QUESTION – YWASTE ?

Covering a big part of the why for us at Ywaste…

50 MILLION

tonnes of general waste are produced
in South Africa every year.

90%

ends up in landfill an archaic,
unsustainable and harmful solution

35%

is organic waste that rots in
landfills producing methane gas.

“Environmentally, instead of
implementing a carbon tax on
companies exploiting our natural
resources, why not incentivise
companies with a positive net
balance on their income statement?
Rewarding companies for
sustainable business practices that
become tradable commodities.”

– Emile Fourie

In February 2011, Ywaste introduced the bokashi method and began collecting our food waste after our previous contractor stopped handling wet food waste. We also faced unpleasant odors in the waste room, which the bokashi process helped to address.
