01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

This waste management plan strives for maximum waste recovery through composting, recycling and re-using, and aims at zero waste to b disposed illegally onto dump-yards and landfills. The long term objective is thus to reduce the environmental degration caused by waste. The business will then using a pyrolysis machine which will convert the waste into petroleum products such as diesel.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

The aim of this project is to start a centralized waste management activities in the Free State region, thereby ensuring that effective measures and procedures are implemented for the handling, storage, transportation and disposal of waste that is generated from local communities.  The plan outlines measures for collection, temporay storage and safe disposal of waste streams associated with the project and includes provisions for the recovery, re-use, and recycling of waste.
