Community Project since February 2019

Somerset West Village Garden

With over 5000 Bokashi bins (70 000kg food waste) composted to date, our Bokashi programme at the non-profit Somerset West Village Garden (corner of Drama- and New Street, Somerset West) is helping to get the community involved by donating their 2 week old Bokashi fermented food waste bins. The food waste is transformed into Bokashi compost and used to provide nutrition to the soil and grow organic vegetables. The vegetables are made available to the homeless and general community.

Empty your Bokashi fermented bin on Mondays to Thursdays 9:00 – 14:00 or Fridays 9:00 – 12:00 (except on rainy days and public holidays).

For every 10 full fermented Bokashi bins received, you get a bag of compost in return.

**Please note: We can’t take fresh untreated food waste, as it will attract rats and pests.**

Compostable vs Biodegradable vs Oxo-degradable?

Watch out if products say “biodegradable” as this is not certified as compostable. It does not tell you how it will decompose nor if additives were added to the product. These added additives breaks down into microplastics, which is still pollution.

“Oxo-degradable” products are a big threat and banned in many countries worldwide. It should also be banned in South Africa. It is standard petroleum plastic, mixed with a biodegradable additive, thus after the bio additive is broken down, the microplastics will remain.

Certified compostable products are the sustainable option and reusable Polylactide acid (PLA) being the best. Every certified compostable product will have its own unique code on the product, which you can lookup online to confirm that it is compostable. The compostable standards codes are Europe (EN13432 / EN14995), USA (ASTM D6400 / ASTM D6868), Australia (AS4736) and Worldwide (ISO17088 / ISO18606).

Normal plastics should be recycled and bioplastics (compostable plastics) should be composted or buried. Neither should end up on landfill.
