  • The V&A Waterfront in Cape Town has diverted over 11,000 tonnes of waste from landfills over five years, reducing disposal costs by up to 36%. The precinct focuses on organic waste due to its high volume—nearly 70% of landfill waste—and its impact on climate change. Key initiatives include source separation, a waste tariff structure to incentivise tenants, green leases, and the use of an 'eco-intelligence dashboard' for real-time data. The project has resulted in annual GHG emission savings of 4,147 tonnes and the creation of 86 permanent daily jobs. The long-term goal is zero waste to landfill by 2023, with plans for an on-site waste-to-energy plant.
