Waste Management in South Africa

WastePlan operates on a national scale, delivering integrated waste management across major provinces including Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Northern Cape, Free State and North West. We support corporate, municipal and industrial clients regardless of location.

South Africa generates 122–125 million tonnes of solid waste each year, with up to 90% sent to landfills. Only around 10% is diverted via recycling or reuse, despite a 60–70% potential rate under the National Waste Management Strategy.

  • National waste generation: 122–125 Mt/year, with 90% still landfilled.

  • <10% is recycled or recovered, despite a ≥60% diversion potential.

  • 60% of landfill sites are non-compliant, increasing environmental risk.
  • WastePlan covers all provinces, delivering compliant and sustainable services.

Recycling profit model

The recycling profit model aims to create value from waste materials by converting them into new products (and additional income). This not only reduces the amount of waste (and its cost) that ends up in landfills but also generates revenue through the sale of recycled products.

At our company, we strongly believe in the recycling profit model. By investing in sustainable waste management practices and technologies, we can reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and create financial value from our waste materials, and share this value with our customers through a transparent rebate model. Not only is this approach better for the environment, but it also generates a steady stream of revenue for our business and our customers.

Making a Positive Impact Beyond Waste Management.

At WastePlan, we believe that responsible business means making a measurable difference in the communities we serve. Our Corporate Social Investment (CSI) projects are focused on long-term impact, supporting environmental education, community development, and social upliftment.

Our CSI focus areas include:

  • Environmental education and outreach in schools and communities

  • Empowerment of informal waste collectors (IWCs) through training and equipment

By integrating CSI into our business strategy, we’re not only supporting South Africa’s development goals, but we’re also helping build a circular, inclusive economy that benefits everyone.
