2013 SEED South Africa Award Lauréat-e Waste Management Morgan Bay, South Africa

Duncan Village Recycling Secondary Cooperative (DVRS) captures the entire bio-waste value chain by establishing composting facilities linked to a highly productive organoponic system of urban food production. It covers its expenses by collecting waste and is thus a sustainable business model for source separation of waste at a household level. DVRS also receives revenues from food production, the resale of fresh produce to the community where the collection of source-separated waste takes place, and recycling the collected dry waste streams.

Eco-Inclusive Impacts

By using best practices in food composting and urban food production, the enterprise contributes to improving community waste management whilst also avoiding 1.5 tons of food waste going to landfills each day.
  • Providing training, skills and jobs to over 150 people, 60 % of them women.
  • Providing waste collection services to low-income communities currently with poor or erratic municipal waste collection.
  • Collecting and recycling source-separated waste from 5,000 households.
  • Producing over 250 tons of low-carbon food with 2 hectares of organoponic urban food gardens and reducing “food miles” to “food metres”.
