INDUSTRY Mining Camp

 

Background

Located in Dampier, a major industrial port town in the Pilbara region in the northwest of Western Australia, Sodexo manages Rio Tinto’s newly refurbished 568-room FIFO accommodation, Peninsula Palms Village.  Diverting food waste from landfill and reducing the high cost of waste management in a remote area was a key priority for this facility.


The Green Solution

As one of the largest food service providers in Australia, Sodexo was seeking a solution to further close the loop on food waste while creating operational efficiencies.  With an ambitious goal to reduce their carbon emissions by 34% by 2025 (vs 2017) and Net Zero by 2045.  Sodexo   is the first food services company to align its objectives to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).


Quantifiable Results

Since the initial installation in April 2021, WasteMaster has delivered significant results for Peninsula Palms. This includes to date:

  • 65.9 tonnes of food waste diverted from landfill

  • 60% reduction in waste disposal volumes

  • 124.74 tonnes of CO2 eq reduction for the site


Positive Outcomes

A number of positive outcomes have been generated due to the installation of WasteMaster at Peninsula Palms.

• Removed issues of skip bin odour and vermin.

• Reduced frequency of skip bin pick up by condensing waste.

• Clean and sustainable way to cut down on landfill disposal.

I’m proud of the initiative of installing WasteMaster at Pennisula Palms where the results and benefits have been amazing. It’s simple to operate, reduces truck movements to our site, diverts food waste from landfill, has encouraged my staff to take ownership of reducing our environmental footprint and creates a byproduct that is being repurposed into compost.
