It is headquartered in Gauteng with depots around the country. A BBBEE Level 1 company, EnviroServ offers cost-effective solutions to complex hazardous and non-hazardous waste and chemical pollution problems, providing peace of mind around legal compliance, safe handling, transportation and treatment. Services include waste recycling and onsite management, minimising waste to landfill, technical waste management supply, contaminated land and legacy stockpile management, hazardous waste services, waste collection, treatment and disposal services and landfill management. EnviroServ was first to market with many waste-management solutions, some of which are still recognised as best practice. The increasing commitment of companies in all industries to achieve zero waste to landfill goals has created a greater need for alternative landfill solutions. However, implementing this can be challenging and costly without sacrificing environmental compliance. Integrated approach EnviroServ offers an integrated approach to onsite waste management with the goal of diverting waste from landfill and promoting a circular economy. The Onsite Waste Management standards developed by EnviroServ provide a comprehensive framework for businesses to effectively manage their waste at the source. This includes transforming the waste-area layout to promote sorting and separation of waste, setting up a structured and best-practice approach to waste organisation and layout, and installing signage and sorting equipment in compliance with ISO/SHEQ standards. EnviroServ provides fully-trained onsite waste handlers with personal protective equipment who are responsible for collecting, separating and sorting waste to extract recyclable materials. “This is a highly skilled process that requires expertise in identifying and segregating different types of recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, metal and plastics. These materials are then micro-sorted into over 20 grades, including PET, HDPE and PVC, in various forms and colours, including rigid, film, bottle, flexible, clear, print and colour,” says Yolandi Kruger, EnviroServ National Commercial Manager, On-site. “The sorted recyclable grades are then sold directly to the end user, mill or plant, increasing the rebate and promoting circular economy practices.” After more than four decades in business, EnviroServ remains a pioneer because the drive to look for better ways of doing things is deeply embedded in the company culture. In addition, by being the first – and for long periods the only company – to tackle complex waste-management issues in South Africa, EnviroServ understands that sustainable waste management evolves with society’s needs, habits and awareness of health and environmental prosperity. The company has evolved to deal with new lifestyles and technologies which led to new and increased waste streams, as well as changes in legislation. As Kruger says, “We are dedicated to delivering innovative waste solutions that are environmentally responsible, effective and economically viable so that our customers can enhance sustainability and achieve environmental peace of mind.” Y CM MY CY CMY K 40 | www.opportunityonline.co.za
