EPA NSW Food Waste Mandate Rollout:
Refine Your Food-Waste Diversion Strategy with Biofeed
As NSW businesses prepare for the phased Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) mandate, now is the time to strengthen your food‑waste diversion strategy—without panic and equipped with opportunity.
NSW Food Waste Mandates – Staged Rollout
The NSW EPA’s food waste diversion laws apply to “relevant premises” such as supermarkets, hospitality venues, hospitals, correctional facilities, educational facilities, hotels, and similar businesses.
Compliance depends on weekly residual waste capacity, with the staged rollout as follows:
- From 1 July 2026
Premises generating 3,840 L or more of residual waste per week must divert food waste. - From 1 July 2028
Premises generating 1,920 L or more per week must comply. - From 1 July 2030
Premises generating 660 L or more per week must follow the mandate—covering almost all medium and large operations.
Every relevant business will need a food-waste management plan.
Planning early means smoother compliance, cost control, and sustainability leadership.
