What does your company do?<br />
Eco-Industrial Solutions (Pty) Ltd (EIS) is committed to integrated and<br />
sustainable industrial property development. Its slogan is “Industry<br />
Nurturing Nature”. EIS is developing the <strong>Limpopo</strong> Eco-Industrial Park<br />
(LEIP) project, powered by renewable energy and municipal waste<br />
syngas, to be the world’s first zero solid-waste, carbon neutral heavy<br />
and light-industrial park integrated with a 2 <strong>20</strong>0-hectare nature park.<br />
This development recognises and promotes a symbiotic relationship<br />
between people, planet and profit.<br />
The LEIP is a multi-billion-rand project that will significantly<br />
contribute to growing an inclusive economy and creating new<br />
jobs, particularly in the <strong>Limpopo</strong> Province. The LEIP project provides<br />
a fully serviced and secure platform for heavy and light industrial<br />
tenants as well as incubating and supporting Small, Medium<br />
and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs). The LEIP Master Plan is based on<br />
principles derived from the field of industrial ecology to create a<br />
closed loop or circular economy, which benefits local communities<br />
whilst integrating and preserving the environment. No flaring of<br />
emissions will be necessary, as all waste gases and solid waste will<br />
be gasified at extremely high temperatures without interrupting or<br />
requiring process changes to tenants’ business models.<br />
How was the company formed?<br />
EIS was formed by founding members who share the vision and<br />
passion to create job opportunities through environmentally friendly<br />
industrialisation and shared benefits to local communities.<br />
In response to some of the major challenges facing humanity<br />
today such as ecological collapse followed by social uprising,<br />
