Waste is Inefficiency

In line with global trends, the Interwaste team strives towards the principle of zero waste to landfill. To achieve this, integrated teams of specialists continuously research, design and refine innovative yet practical, time and cost-efficient, compliant waste management solutions for clients and partners.

Interwaste finds the best place for your waste using waste classification. At our SANAS accredited laboratories, through rigorous assessment and analysis, waste is directed to environmentally compatible, holistic alternatives to traditional landfill disposal. From waste as fuel, to metals recovery, to suitability for anaerobic digestion, Interwaste will partner with you to find a fitting solution for your waste problems.

Providing the correct equipment, ensuring the provision of cost-effective solutions, and remaining transparent by the provision of full and accurate reporting, is at the heart of our business. To this end, Interwaste provides triple line reporting to record the economic, social and environmental impact of any waste management solution. Using this reporting system, we support businesses in reducing their costs, achieving legislative and auditory compliance as well as creating possibilities for positive environmental marketing.

Extracting value from waste is part of what makes Interwaste a forerunner in the waste management sector in South Africa. This is evident in our response to increasingly stringent legislation on the disposal of hazardous materials into landfills, which prompted us to develop processes that convert various types of hazardous waste with a calorific value into alternative fuel and gas products. This can lead to a zero-waste management outcome or even an income generating service.

Waste disposal, (meaning getting rid of unwanted materials primarily into landfills) is a multi-faceted, logistically-demanding process of disposing waste in ways that are cost -effective, sustainable and environmentally safe. At Interwaste, years of experience and success have established us as a leader in disposal options such as landfill construction, remediation and/or management, landfill gas operations and transfer station management where recyclable and reusable waste is recovered to avoid landfill disposal.

Ever client-conscious, Interwaste offers a confidential destruction and disposal service for expired, redundant or counterfeit goods. These goods are collected in safe disposal containers, stored and then either crushed, incinerated or shredded within a secure environment. For further peace-of-mind, clients receive a Certificate of Safe Disposal once the destruction process is complete.

As landfill disposal remains the predominant means of waste management in South Africa, Interwaste, while constantly striving to reduce waste to landfill, thought ahead and also became an industry leader in the development and management of landfill sites. Building on a long and effective heritage of landfill expertise, the team at Interwaste can construct, re-engineer and manage any type of landfill site to ensure legal compliance, community and environmental safety and financial and operational sustainability.

Combining the latest in equipment and facilities with operational and management expertise, our on-site teams ensure all waste is separated correctly at our clients' facilities. This not only reduces costly cross-contamination of hazardous and non-hazardous waste but streamlines further waste treatment and waste disposal operations.
Our dedicated on-site waste management division is responsible for all aspects of Integrated Waste Management, including:

Site Management and on-site personnel
Waste Identification and Separation
Waste Minimising
Maximising Resource Recovery
The Provision of Accurate Environmental Reporting (Triple Line Reporting)

The team at Interwaste believes that waste management compliance is a non- negotiable. Working jointly, our Technical Services and Compliance teams participate in legislative developments with the Department of Environmental Affairs to keep up-to-date with ever-evolving legislation. This knowledge allows us to drive innovation within the bounds of compliance resulting in ‘win win’ waste management solutions for our clients.
