———————
South Africa’s dumping dilemma
Tourism contributed 10% to our GDP in 2016
90% of an estimated 59 million tonnes of general waste ends up in landfills
Only 5,2% of households recycled waste in 2015
South Africa has around 826 landfill sites

Cleaning up wasteful practises
Waste removal is a significant industry with a R15 billion revenue and creates almost 30 000 jobs
Our National Waste Management Strategy aims to divert 25% of recyclables from landfill sites for re-use, recycling or recovery
Four waste management projects implemented nationally in 2016 attracted over R1 billion, creating 148 jobs

Global waste realities
Germany is the global leader in municipal solid waste recycling, processing 66% of produced waste
Singapore produces the most waste at an average of 1 394kg of waste per person per year
Wales is on track to reach its goal of zero waste by 2050
What we do know is that waste management is a growing problem and companies need to be innovative, investing time and money to play their role in addressing it.
– Heidi Newton-King, private industry director of
sustainability.
A world of potential in waste management
South Africa is currently the 15th largest global producer of waste. With less land available for landfill sites and less water free for processing waste, the solution to our growing problem lies in a strong group effort, the fostering of innovative ideas, and developing sustainable action plans.
Within our masses of waste lie great opportunities, as has been demonstrated by numerous South African industry leaders. These various companies have used the need for sustainable waste management to generate profits, savings and positive public images.
The benefits of sustainable and responsible waste management are far reaching and affect multiple industry sectors. Local municipalities are struggling with the demand for effective waste management, allowing room for private industries to take matters into their own hands. Advanced Swedish technologies such as Thermo-Fusion have yet to be implemented in our country and hold tremendous potential. Our current systems can easily be built upon and improved, providing a sound base for upcoming projects. The longer the delay the larger the problem becomes, impacting human and environmental health. As Statistics South Africa says, “Recycling aids in conserving energy, saves natural resources and reduces pollution.”
