Probio clinches environmental award

In diverting food waste from landfills, Probio collaborated with local households, businesses and communities to reduce their carbon footprint by turning waste into a valuable resource, using the Probio Bokashi Composting System. The result is a reduction of over 46,000 tons of waste from landfills and over 10,000 tons of methane from the atmosphere since 2012.

A passion for the environment

Driven by a passion for the environment and advocating ecological accountability for all, Probio’s composting system combines the power of beneficial micro-organisms with the technological advances of applied science. The Probio Bokashi Composting System includes Bokashi (wheat bran that has been inoculated with beneficial probiotic microbes) and a Probio Bokashi Composter bin that makes composting easy by turning waste from the kitchen into organic soil conditioner. The Probio Bokashi Composting System is fast, space conscious and ensures that food waste is treated in a quick and easy manner that does not release unpleasant odours. In addition, the composting system contains no hazardous ingredients that are harmful to humans, animals and plants.
