3 of the best waste management solutions we offer

The waste management industry in South Africa is evolving. It is one of the most efficient on the continent of Africa. However, we need to continue to improve on the separation, sorting and collection of recyclable waste. This would mean keeping valuable recyclables out of full-to-capacity landfills, which also means these recyclables “live on” as raw materials for the South African packaging industry because they’re made into new products.

At Mpact Waste Management, we are doing all we can to ensure future generations live in a cleaner, more sustainable world through ethical waste management solutions. As one of the top waste management organisations in South Africa, we know our on-site waste management service can improve the future of waste in our country. Our trained staff will help you find a solution to fit your individual needs, so you can be a part of this good business journey.

1. Recycling & Waste: The Potential for Profit

   Did you know that your business is able to create a revenue stream from waste? We at Mpact Waste Management reduce the amount of waste that gets sent to landfill by diverting your valuable, clean recyclables to one of our 15 Mpact Recycling branches. Not only is this partnership good for business, it’s good for minimising waste at landfills too.

We offer a range of services to help cut down the waste that ends up going to our landfills. Our on-site waste sorting service tackles waste generation right on your doorstep, separating hazardous waste from food waste, e-waste and valuable recyclables.

   Every aspect of your waste management plan is executed on your premises, and ensures that the waste ends up in the correct places like recyclables going to a sorting and baling site, like any one of Mpact Recycling’s 15 branches. It also means you won’t waste money on unnecessary waste removals from your site.

2. Waste Management of All Materials

   We take pride in the fact that Mpact Waste Management evaluates all materials to alleviate the pressures placed on our environment. Our modern facilities are equipped to tackle the waste that may not fall under conventional managerial categories. For example:

   Food and Organic Waste

   We’ll take care of biodegradable materials, plants, and animal food products for you. This organic waste can often increase greenhouse gas emissions if they sit unmonitored in landfill. Likewise, if organic waste sits around people for too long, it will become detrimental to our health. Let us take care of it. We’ll send your organic waste to be composted or to alternative energy facilities.

   Hazardous Waste Management

   We carefully assess your hazardous waste management needs. Any waste that cannot be recycled is evaluated. We will then find sustainable and environmentally responsible alternatives to dispose of hazardous materials. This includes e-waste recycling. Ethical & Safe disposal.

   E-waste Management

   Mpact Waste Management is a member of the PRO, eWASA, the EPR Waste Association of South Africa. As an eWASA Member, we’ve made a commitment to ensure that your electric and electronic recyclables are safely dispatched to our Mpact Recycling branches in Germiston. Where it will be sorted before being sent to be recycled.

   We accept the following e-waste:

   • Computers
   • Laptops
   • Cell phones
   • Printers
   • Batteries
   • And more*

3. Recycling as Part of the Circular Economy and EPR.

   Whilst the recycling rate in South Africa is good in comparison to international standards, waste is still finding its way to our landfills – and this is becoming a huge challenge. At Mpact Waste Management, we offer businesses our services to encourage effective waste management through the separation of waste at source.

   Sorting waste on-site will contribute to building onto the already existing circular economy in our country. Recyclable waste materials won’t end up in landfills or in our oceans if we don’t throw them in with the waste but rather collect them for recycling.

   You, as a responsible business, have the potential to create social and economic opportunities through our recycling programmes. There are many opportunities in the recycling market especially when it comes to dealing with one of the leading recyclers in South Africa, Mpact Recycling.

   Adhering to EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility)

   Within the Circular Economy, Mpact Waste Management acts as a collector. What this means is that we prioritise your waste, ensure it is sorted on your site before making its way to one of our Mpact Recycling branches.

   This is just one of the ways that we help you as a business to remain EPR compliant.

   If you feel it is time to divert more waste in South Africa away from landfills, then supporting the circular economy is a definitive step in the right direction.

   Waste is not a problem. It is an opportunity to convert recyclable waste into a valuable commodity that also creates and supports jobs. Waste generated from your business is analysed and sorted on-site by Mpact Waste Management. We filter the recyclables, e-waste and compostables, and organise each accordingly so that they fall into the correct waste stream.

Mpact Waste Management will help you transform your waste for the greater good.

We offer a complete solution that can help your company begin its waste transformation journey, from recycling waste to other waste management efforts like sending food waste to a composting facility or even transforming e-waste into an alternative energy source.
