Silver Spring Golf Club’s mantra is “zero waste.” The Menomonee Falls facility (N56 W21318 Silver Spring Dr.) claims it is the first golf club in Wisconsin to use the Bokashi fermentation system. Or rather, it will be. The company announced today that it is “transforming” its restaurant and wedding/banquet operations to zero waste with this Japanese form of composting. Bokashi is said to be a non-smelly fermentation process that can recycle meat, fish and dairy scraps. (In traditional composting, dairy cannot be converted into usable fertilizer). The facility produces eight tons of food waste each year, according to the press release. Eight tons that would normally be dumped into a landfill. Heck, maybe more, if they had a really big year of weddings. Start planning your no-waste wedding banquet now.
