Ancient solutions to modern problems.
Most organisations generate organic waste every single day. Most of it ends up trucked hours away to a landfill. There is a better way — and with the clock ticking on New Zealand's organic waste future, now is the time to find it.
Little Buddies works with corporates, large hospitality groups, significant landowners, and local operations across New Zealand to handle organic waste responsibly and put it back to work. Based in Cambridge, Waikato. Working wherever the problem is.
Consulting
For organisations that want a strategy.
We work alongside you to design a system that works on your site, meets your obligations, and delivers something you can stand behind. From site assessment through to council consent — we've done this before.
Managed Operations
For organisations that want it handled.
Some clients want the strategy. Others just want the problem solved. We design, build, and run your composting or vermiculture system on your property — so you get the outcome without the learning curve.
Waste Brokerage
Got a problem? We'll find the solution.
Not every waste challenge needs an on-site system. Sometimes you just need to know where your organic waste should be going and who can get it there. We connect you with the right carriers and solutions.
The Vision — closing the organic loop at scale
The work we do today is part of something bigger. We're building toward a large-scale vermiculture processing facility that takes organic waste from major operations and returns it to the land as rich, living vermicast — supporting the next generation of regenerative farming in New Zealand.
If you're a farmer, investor, or landowner who wants to be part of what's coming, we'd love to hear from you.
About Marty — the person behind the worm farms
Marty Pine has spent years figuring out what really happens to food waste — and what it could become instead.
He's equally at home talking waste strategy in a boardroom and getting his hands into a worm farm. That combination is exactly what makes Little Buddies different.
