1 1 Manufactured in Sweden

2 The Magnitude and Cost of Food Waste in South Africa Food waste = 9 million tonnes p/a R 61.5 billion associated loss p/a 2.1% of GDP R500 million p/a associated landfill (transport / disposal costs) Food waste consists of raw and / or cooked food materials and includes food waste before, during and after meal preparation in the households, as well as food losses in the process of food manufacturing, retail and food services activities. Food losses / waste occur at all stages in the food supply chain; including during harvest, storage, processing, distribution, at retailers, and in the kitchens of restaurants, hotels Food waste disposed at landfill creates further challenges: 1 Ton food waste = ± 680 Kg/Co2e 1 Ton of food waste = ± 17 T/Ch4e 2 If you were able to compost the food from one shopping centre it would be the equivalent of taking 167 cars off the road for one year, in terms of CO2 emissions.

4 SA Legislative & Statutory Environment 4 National Context, Regulations and Legal framework. National Organic Waste Composting Strategy (NOWCS) National Waste Management Strategy Over the next 5 years the costs of managing municipal landfills needs to be fully accounted for, and the costs passed directly on to businesses and consumers in terms of waste services tariffs. STAATSKOERANT, 30 MAART 2012No Attention must be given to the following aspects: - Introduction of composting facilities (also home composting) Hazardous Waste: Putrescible organic waste, e.g., waste arising from production of edible oils, skins and other animal based products. "hazardous waste" means any waste that contains organic or inorganic elements or compounds that may, owing to the inherent physical, chemical or toxicological characteristics of that waste, have a detrimental impact on health and the environment and includes hazardous substances, materials or objects within the business waste, residue deposits and residue stockpiles. Waste Amendment Act, 2014 (Act No 26 of 2014): Waste producer remains liable for all aspects of the waste stream including the transport and disposal (at land fill).whether the IWMP has been outsourced to a waste specialist contractor or not! Penalties: up to R 10 million in fines or 5 years incarceration!

5 5 The South African government intends to introduce a carbon tax on 1 January The objective of this taxation is to support South Africa s commitment of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 34% by 2020 and 42% by 2025 against a business as usual curve. A percentage of emissions will be tax-exempt until 2020 to allow for a smooth transition for business. These thresholds range between 60% and 100%. Introduce new Carbon Tax Law Jan 2017 Aimed at taxing waste producers: Business Process Emissions? 2 Types of emissions: Direct at place of business Indirect: off-site (for example disposal at landfill) Financial burden reduced annual profit BUT allows for EXEMPTIONS etc. On average, greenhouse gas emissions across the food supply chain range between tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tco 2 e) per tonne of food. Emissions associated with the production and disposal of food that ultimately ends up going to waste therefore contribute a significant component of the country s total emissions footprint.

6 What we offer? 6 An Integrated Food Waste Management Plan Includes REPORTING TOOL for real time reporting of food waste input / output etc. Range of in-vessel composting machines designed to promote the composting of food waste On-site (at your business location) Benefits: Jora Composters No EIA required Deemed an appropriate technology (refer NOWCS: Dep. Env. Affairs / SA) Rapid deployment / implementation and operation of our systems No operator`s license required Legal Compliance ( SA Legislative Environment) Ethical business behaviour Reduce labour costs Reduce waste management operating costs etc. Quantitative Reporting How much? Qualitative Reporting What? and When? Enhanced 3xBLR (King 3).People, Planet, Profit~ Reduced carbon foot print / methane gas omissions etc. Effective Recovery, Recycling and Re-use of food waste (compost) Various Models available depends on your needs! Finance Options available / operational expense. 24 month Maintenance Plan

7 Why Composting? 7 Where food waste cannot be avoided, alternative end-of-life treatment technologies for this waste must be considered. Waste from food processing can be used as an input in the production of energy or compost and is also a source of valuable, functional compounds such as antioxidants. Dr Linda Godfrey CSIR Food waste disposed at landfill creates further challenges: 1 Ton food waste = ± 680 kg/co2e 1 Ton of food waste = ± 15 tonnes of Ch4 BUT composted food waste 6 kg/co2e The results are mind blowing as we are now able to reduce our waste by 2.5 tons per month.
