Food and organic waste composter limits landfill waste

2021

Meat, half-eaten pizza slices, fruit peels, paper and other organic waste is now being churned into water and fertiliser at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill.

Leftover food from staff cafeterias and other suitable waste is fed into a machine that dehydrates it into compost. This compost is then ploughed back into landscaped areas around the property to act as a valuable nutrient source.

By recycling waste on-site, the project is aimed at cutting the amount of waste sent to landfill - reducing our carbon footprint and saving money. As a result we have reduced the volume of food waste sent to landfill by 75 percent - a great achievement.
