Leachate and Effluent Treatment

After a rigorous planning and technical evaluation phase by our local and international teams, the Interwaste Leachate and Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) was meticulously designed, developed, and commissioned. Leveraging proprietary expertise and a range of advanced technologies, the ETP sets a new standard for leachate and liquid waste treatment in South Africa.

This innovative solution aligns with the Group’s sustainability strategy, global water reduction targets and our overarching focus on the circular economy. By recovering 80-90% of the liquid for re-use in operations or for safe discharge and replenishment into the environment, the ETP contributes significantly to resource conservation and environmental sustainability.

• Advanced Treatment Technologies: The ETP employs state-of-the-art filtration, biological treatment, and membrane technologies to effectively remove contaminants and recover clean water.
• Compliance and Efficiency: Continuous monitoring and control systems ensure compliance with regulatory standards while maximizing operational efficiency.
• Circular Economy Principles: By reusing recovered water and minimizing waste generation, the ETP embodies the principles of the circular economy, reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability.
• Capacity: the plant has the capacity to treat over 43,000 cubic meters per annum
