THE OPPORTUNITY

Transforming South Africa's Waste Challenge into
Climate Action

South Africa generates millions of tonnes of municipal, commercial, agricultural, and organic waste each year, with a significant proportion ending up in landfills where it decomposes and releases methane—one of the most potent greenhouse gases. At the same time, valuable recyclable materials and organic resources are lost instead of being returned to productive use.

Impact in Action

Building a Circular Future Through Waste Recovery

Every tonne of waste diverted from landfill contributes to cleaner communities, healthier ecosystems, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and valuable resources returning to productive use. The Clean Waste Collective demonstrates how integrated waste management creates measurable environmental, social, and climate benefits across South Africa.
