Every business that composts works towards improving regional access to composting services.
There’s a hierarchy of solutions when it comes to reducing climate impact, reducing food waste and composting are in the top 10. It is not yet the norm to separate food scraps and to compost—and the industry is underfunded versus recycling, but with every business and organisation that starts, we are working towards a future with less landfilling, more composting.
Getting started with organics collections
Choose your packaging
With over 600 SKUs, you will find packaging that suits your service offering. If you need custom branding, we can do that too.
Book a compost collection service
Available services for the collection of food scraps and compostable packaging are listed on our Collection Partners page.
Educate your team and customers
Clear staff training and customer guidance, including clear signage will be key to avoiding contamination.
Monitor and share your impact
Depending on your collection provider you might receive diversion rate reports. If not, track your collections to build engagement.
A model campus for circular food systems
Manurewa High’s intense lunch operations prioritise renewable materials in compostable packaging and recovery via organic collections. Each day, they prepare 2,800 meals on-site. Bin stations placed across the campus recover 70% of food waste and packaging, 3 x 660 L bins 3 times weekly which Green Gorilla collects. That’s a circular system in place today that works.
