WASTE MINIMISATION
Waste
prevention
(grass farming)
Re-use (bark chips)
Recycle (organic fertiliser)
Energy (biofuel production)
Total Eradication of Disposable
Green Waste
JCPZ SOURCES OF
ORGANIC WASTE
 Animal waste from the Zoo
 Green waste from horticulture maintenance
 Green waste from ecological maintenance
 Food waste (animals and staff)

Blue economy
Biogas generation
(including Zoo
Programme)
Est. 2000 tons per
month
JCPZ organic waste
Potential of more
waste from private
and public entities,
another bi-product is
compost
Blue economy
Mushroom farming
500 tons of wood
chips monthly
JCPZ waste
Very minimal waste

PARTNERSHIPS
 Partnerships with COJ departments:
 EISD: Research, policy support, climate change response (incl. separation at source)
 PikitUp: technical support around composting (incl. landfills);
 Partnership with Cape Advance – Consultant on Biogas
 Wits University Technical Assistance on composting
 Contract to supply material with Remade Recycling
 Jozi@Work (Coops and SMMEs) work packages around composting at the Zoo;
 University of Johannesburg and SANEDI around Biogas production
 Aim to release the CafeFino grid through Buffalo dung
JOB CREATION & CO-OPS
PROGRAMME
 Animal Waste to Biofuel – Zoo CafeFino
 Tons produced 2234.18kg p/w and 70259.58kg p/m from animal enclosures
 Source of waste: green waste such as leaves, grass from grass cutting and herbivores
waste (e.g. Lucerne,hay/teff) as well as animal faeces/waste
 Program on waste management: 2 Co-ops recycling through (remade) and composting at
the Zoo
 Desired Outcome: Empower local community through job creation i.e selling of Zoo
compost
ECOLOGICAL WASTE
 Ecological Waste:
 Maximum of 350 tons per month during high season
 Potential of generating 1000 tons per month through
alien plant control
 Waste make up (reeds, grass, alien plants, hyacinth and
water lilies)
 Currently all waste is dumped on land fill sites
OPPORTUNITIES
 Composting –Green Basisa Cooperative with 5 members (grass and animal poo)
 Recycling – Phroma Creations Cooperative with 7 members (glass, paper plastic,
globes, cartridges etc.)
 Grass Farming – 400ha :Production of biofuel to contribute to City biofuel
requirements (grass farming)
 Woodchips - from tree cuttings for mulching (mushroom initiative)

WAYFORWARD
 Masterplan linked to the CoJ
 JCPZ OPS Process Review
 Biogas Market
 Coops & SMME output for work packages
 Site identification and confirmation of both plant & grass
farming constraints
 Compliance e.g. waste testing & treatment licences
 Resources - human & financial
 Business Model (Resourcing, Finance, Markets and
Infrastructure)
THE FUTURE IS GREENER!
