Methodology
At WastePlan, we see waste management services as a partnership, working with you to improve both on-site waste management and off-site waste solutions in a cost-effective way. By assessing your waste streams, we create a strategy that maximises waste recycling services while ensuring compliance.
We provide a transparent data platform, giving you and your team real-time access to your waste data, sustainability reports, and compliance certificates. This ensures accountability and helps you track progress toward your zero waste to landfill goals.
Our Profit Model
Unlike traditional waste management service providers, WastePlan does not own a landfill. Instead, we focus on processing waste on-site, reducing reliance on landfills and increasing recycling services. Last year, we diverted 76% of our on-site clients’ waste, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability.
Our profit model is designed to reward us for reducing waste, not dumping it. This approach ensures that we prioritise waste segregation, organic waste recycling, and industrial waste services, helping businesses transition to zero waste to landfill strategies.
ESG/Reporting
Investors have stopped asking nicely for ESG
transparency, they’re demanding it. Waste management services play a critical role in your ESG performance.
At WastePlan, we provide comprehensive waste data reporting to help you meet compliance requirements, improve sustainability performance, and align with industry best practices, including those set by the
Institute of Waste Management of Southern Africa (IWMSA) and Organics Recycling Association of South Africa (ORASA).
