Kitchen Composting Made Easy

Kitchen Composting Made Easy

Composting means to recycle your food! If we recycle our food waste, and we recycle the regular dry "recyclables" (like glass, plastic, metals & paper products), then you will find very little going to landfills. Furthermore, composting is amazing for our soils - and soils give us life. 

Why is composting so important?
- By composting the organic waste you produce, you significantly reduce the amount of waste you send to landfill. Landfill space in South Africa is fast running out and organic waste has been banned from landfill in the Western Cape by 2027
- When organic matter decomposes at landfill it produces large amounts of the potent greenhouse gas Methane, which contributes to global warming
- Toxic leachates from the decomposing matter pollute our waterways and pose health hazards to nearby communities.
- Organic waste is a valuable resource! It can be transformed into nutrient-rich compost, animal feed and bio-gas.

So whether you have a compost heap in your garden, use Bokashi or have hungry worms -the products on this Postwink site will make your composting easy.

Join us in adopting sustainable practices in your kitchen with our Italian-style kitchen caddy and biodegradable plastic bags. By composting your food scraps, you can reduce waste and contribute to a greener future.

Here's how it works:

  1. Italian-Style Kitchen Caddy: Purchase our specially designed kitchen caddy from our website. It's a stylish and convenient container that fits perfectly in your kitchen.
  2. Biodegradable Plastic Bags: Use our biodegradable plastic bags to line the kitchen caddy. These bags are eco-friendly and designed to break down naturally over time.
  3. Collect Food Scraps: As you prepare meals or clean up in the kitchen, collect your food scraps in the lined kitchen caddy. This includes fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, tea bags, and more.
  4. Bokashi Bucket: Transfer the filled bags to our specially designed bokashi bucket. This bucket should be stored outside, away from direct sunlight.
  5. Sprinkle Bokashi Bran: For optimal composting, sprinkle a light layer of bokashi bran over each bag in the bucket. This bran helps to accelerate the decomposition process.
  6. Emptying Service: When your bokashi bucket is full or at your convenience, bring it to us for emptying. Our collection service is included in the standard monthly subscription fee of R200, which also includes 500g of bokashi bran per bucket.
  7. Purchase Additional Supplies: If you need more biodegradable bags or bokashi bran, you can conveniently purchase them from our website.
