1 ABATTOIR WASTE Not only domestic and commercial waste is dumped on the Ashton landfill site, but also abattoir waste. In the Netherlands there are laws for the dumping of abattoir waste because it can damage public health. An important law for the dumping of abattoir waste is regulation nr. 1774/2002 from the European Parliament and Council. This regulation describes health regulations for non human consumption of animal by-products. Generally it describes in what categories the animal by-products should be placed and how they should be collected, transported and stored. For companies certain standards have been set. When they do not comply with these standards their permit will be withdrawn. The common ways of handling abattoir waste in the Netherlands is to either burn or process it into, for example, animal nutrition.1 In South Africa there is a regulation concerning red meat and poultry abattoir waste called red meat regulations, 2004. This regulation explains that condemned animal material should be denatured with a distinctive colorant or buried and immediately covered in a trench of at least 60 cm deep an not less than 100 meters from the abattoir. Dumping on the landfill is possible when the landfill has a permit to handle abattoir waste. The Ashton landfill site is not qualified to handle abattoir waste. Other options are not mentioned in this document. A possible other solution could be that the abattoir waste in South Africa is processed into animal nutrition.

2 QUESTION LIST STAKEHOLDERS Dear Sir / Madam, At first we would like to introduce ourselves. We are a team of Dutch students working on a project about waste management for the Breede River Winelands Municipality. The goal of the project is to minimize the waste stream that flows into the landfills. To minimize the waste the municipality wants to start with organized recycling. That is why a Material recovery Facility is build. For us the next step is to gather more information about the different recycling companies. Therefore we would like to ask you the following questions:

What different kinds of waste does your company collect?

Could you divide the primary waste streams that your company collects?

Is there a minimal volume necessary for collection? Is the minimal volume per kind of waste different? If it does, could you please tell us per kind of waste the volume that is necessary for collection?

What are the quality terms for the collected waste? Are there per kind of waste different quality terms? If there are, could you please tell us per kind of waste what these quality terms are?

Could you tell us the prices per kilo for the different products your company collect?

Could you please give the price per kilo as detailed as possible?

Is it possible to give us some information about the transport as well?

Do you come and collect the waste in Breede River Wineland Municipality? The distance between your company and Breede River Wineland Municipality is about 180 km away. If so, could you please tell us what the prices are as detailed as possible?

We hope that you are able to help us, and to hear from you soon. Kind Regards, Faroen Habieb Daan Grooten Anouk Veldhuizen

3 INTERVIEW STAKEHOLDERS In this chapter is described how the interviews have been taken.

3.1 INTERVIEWED RECYCLE COMPANIES AND COLLECTORS

Company: Waste stream they recycle:

Nampak Paper Atlantic Plastics LDPE, Resell: HDPE/ PET Collect a Can Cans Consoll Glass Glass ( no window glass ) Sappi Paper

Collectors:

Beaconvale Recyclers Paper Desco E-Waste Robertson Recyclers Paper, Card Board, Bottles, LDPE,HDPE,PET Mr. Paper Paper, Plastics, Bottles, Card Board

3.2 WHY NECESSARY

In order to manage waste within Breede River Wine Municipality it is important to look at these two groups of stakeholders. This is because it is important to get a good view of who can collect which kind of waste and on what terms (price, transport, volume, etc.). To get a clear view of the companies and their potential we set up the following interview questions.

3.3 INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

The different types of waste that the company collects The minimum volume necessary for collection The quality terms of the collected waste The prices per kilo. Information about the transport costs.

4 MINUTES MR. PAPER

Date 8th of October 2008 Time 11:00 AM till 15:00 PM Introduction In order to find information about the commercial opportunities of the Material Recovery Facility. Faroen Habieb, Daan Grooten and Anouk Veldhuizen paid a visit to Charl van Sittert. He is the owner of three transfer stations, which are located in Paarl, Ceres and Worcester. The name of his company is Mr. Paper. We wanted more information about the following subjects:

- The different types of waste that his company collects. - The minimum volume necessary for collection. - The quality terms of the collected waste. - The prices per kilo. - Information about the transport.

Interview questions The types of waste and quality terms

LDPE: Only if it’s clean. Cardboard: Only if it’s non-coated and if it does not contain aluminium. Office Paper: Only if it doesn’t contain plastic bookbinders. Mixed Paper: All different kind of paper and cardboard mixed together. Magazines: All different magazines mixed together. Newspapers: All different newspapers mixed together. Bottles: Bottles have to be without a top, no window glass or the

glass of lights, all the other bottles can be mixed. Tins: All different kinds of tins mixed; oil and painting tins have

to be flatted. HDPE: All different kinds of HDPE, cans that contained poisons

have to be cleaned three times and wholes must be made into the can.

The minimal volume necessary for collection

There is no minimum volume necessary for collection.

The prices per kilo For him the price has to be as low as possible. Prices are negotiable; it all depends on the kind of service the client wants.

Information about the transport

His company provides the transport for picking up the selected waste. The materials don’t have to be baled.


10

The opinion of Charl van Sittert Charl van Sittert is a patron for the privatizing of the waste sector. He wondered why the municipality never contacted him, or other private persons, for cooperation before building their own MRF.

To his opinion the recycling of domestic waste isn’t profitable enough, unless you make use of separation at source.

A possible way to do this is a two bag system in which recyclable goods are separated from non-recyclables. The implementation of the two bag system won’t work unless you can combine this with an awareness campaign. Charl emphasized the fact that you have to give the people something in return for their effort of separating the waste. As a possibility for the realization of this he pointed on tax discounts for the people that are making uses of this system.

Besides that, to his opinion, the municipality must put enough effort in education of the people in the companies about recycling. He gave the example that people could do an internship at his company.

The biggest challenge of a MRF was to get more money out off the recyclable goods then the cost that you make while recycling.

Conclusion

Charl van Sittert is a broker, a middle man in the recycling process. He collects the waste from companies and delivers it to recycle companies in Cape Town. He also provides the clients with services by placing his own container and transport.

Charl has two machines that compress the waste into bails. This is a must if you want to deliver to the recycle companies in Cape Town. The machines are sponsor by the recycle companies Mondi and Sappi. If the municipality wants to deliver to the companies in Cape Town, compression machined are needed to.

For a broker of waste the biggest threat is the municipality. When the municipality starts his own transfer station and collects waste at the companies too, the companies don’t need the service of a private collector. As a result the private company loses his clients.

5 MINUTES ROBERTSON RECYCLING CENTRE Date 2nd of October 2008 Time 16:30 PM till 17:30 PM Introduction

To get a reference of recycling initiatives in the BRWM area, Faroen Habieb, Patrick Keverling Buisman, Daan Grooten, Anouk Veldhuizen and Lobke Jansen paid a visit to Mr. K. van Wijk, also known as Robertson Recycling.

Summary

Mr. van Wijk wanted to know what we were doing for the municipality, because he thought that one of the previous groups were helping him but in the end they recommended to build a recycle facility. Mr. van Wijk is told that the group wanted to develop a good system for waste recycling in the BRWM. Mr. van Wijk told us that he has troubles with the municipality, especially with Dirk Steyn. He says that they are not willing to help him recycle. Mr. van Wijk is now afraid that when the municipality starts recycling his business will be ruined and he fears for the jobs of his 12 employees. His suggestion is to give the recycling work to private businesses, because if people have to earn their money they will work harder and more honest. People who work for the municipality are lazy and bad workers because they will get their pay check at the end of the month anyways. The municipality asked Michael Onverwachs to work together with them. Michael Onverwachs does not have that much knowledge as Mr. K. van Wijk does. They wrote a businessplan together but they never received an answer from the municipality. Mr.K. van Wijk only recycles business waste. He collects it at the stores, wineries and schools. Mr. K. van Wijk does not pay for the waste; he does pay a tribute to the school for their waste collection. The waste gets picked up by companies from Cape Town and Johannesburg, he does not have to transport it to them himself but he needs a certain amount. Mr. K. van Wijk has a press and a machine to put plastic around the waste so it stays together. Michael Onverwachs does not have such equipment. The waste that is not recyclable or is too dirty gets picked up by the municipality

Conclusion

Mr. K. van Wijk was glad that he could help us out and suggested that if we wanted more information we could always stop by.

6 MINUTES PICKERS Date 7th of October 2008 Time 13:30 PM till 15:00 PM Introduction

Faroen Habieb and Daan Grooten went to the landfill in Ashton to interview the pickers who are collecting and selling recyclable waste. To gather more information about the way the pickers recycle, the pickers were asked the following questions.

Interview questions

What types of waste do you collect? How much do you collect in a day? How long does it take you to collect this? How and to whom do you sell it? What are the prices per kilo for the collected waste?

Summary

At first we interviewed two ladies who used to live in Zimbabwe. They collect clothing which they use for themselves or send to Zimbabwe. Sometimes they collect also tins, because they can exchanges this with the other pickers for clothing. Furthermore they could not help with us with useful information so we decided to interview other pickers.

The next group of people we interviewed mainly collected the different kind of metals. Tins were the most collected items; they collected about 5 to 20 bags of tins a day. Monday’s and Friday’s there was not much to pick. Every night they sell their collected items to Willem Pietersen. Willem Pietersen is one of the Brokers who buys the collected materials from the pickers and sells it to the recycle companies. He weighs the bag on the landfill and gives them a certain price per kilo.

Sometimes the pickers work with two or three people in a team and split the money they earn. They collect almost every recyclable material, but it is not always possible to sell this. This is because the pickers do not have the needed machines to bail the materials. Some of the collected materials that they can not sell are stored in a cage on the landfill.

Prices of collected materials per kilo Iron R1 per kilo Aluminum R5 per kilo Stainless Steel R7 per kilo Braso R10 per kilo Copper R25 per kilo Tins R3 to R5 per bag At the moment the prices are lowering.


13

Extra information from the pickers There are at this moment two groups of pickers working on the landfill. They both deliver to another broker. One group delivers to Willem Pietersen and the other group delivers to Christopher Velisa. The pickers work six days in a week, even when it rains. The broker organizes a braai once a month and gives the pickers also a bonus of 50 rand every Friday.

The pickers know about the Material Recovery Facility and they hope that they will have a job there in the future. At the moment the pickers have to work very hard. When working with three people together they earn about R150 a day as a group. At the moment the municipality could help the pickers with gloves and booths in order to make the work more hygienic and saver.


14

7 MINUTES NAMPAK PAPER RECYCLING Date 10th of October 2008 Time 12:00 PM till 14:00 PM Introduction

In order to gather information about the commercial opportunities of the material recovery facility, Faroen Habieb and Daan Grooten paid a visit to Collin Higgins. He is the operational manager of Nampak recycling, Cape Town.

The information needed for the project, are the following subjects:

The different types of waste that his company collects; The minimum volume necessary for collection; The quality terms of the collected waste; The prices per kilo; Information about the transport.

About Nampak

When we arrived at Nampak, at first Mr. Higgins told us about the cooperation between Nampak and Collect a Can. Nampak has a 50% share of Collect a Can. In a support of baling machines the two companies might work together.

After this introduction Mr. Higgins asked us about the number of households in BRWM. We estimated the number of people living in BRWM on 80.000. Mr. Higgins calculated 26.500 households; he counted about 3 people living in one household. He told us that approximately 60% of the households recycle, if you introduce the two bag system. Without the two bag system he told us, the quality of the recyclable materials is to low to recycle. In a one bag system, recyclable materials like paper get mixed up with other materials, like organic waste, which makes the recyclable materials non recyclable. So if the households use the two bag system, 11 kg of recyclable materials will be received. Of this 11 kg about 50% will be glass, 30% will be cardboard, 20% will contain the plastics and other materials. In the business waste more recyclable materials will be found and the composition will be different.

Mr. Higgins told us that everywhere in South Africa the landfills reach their limits. He pointed on the fact that you have to think about Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

He asked us why the BRWM does not want to outsource the recycling process. To his opinion waste management have to be done by a private organisation. An entrepreneur is a better recycler then a municipality.


15

Interview questions The different types of waste that his company collects Nampak is a paper recycling company. They collect all the different kinds of paper.

Kinds of paper they collect: K 4 Used Kraft HL 1 Heavy Letter One HL 2 Heavy Letter two SMX Super Mix SBM Shavings, Books and Magazines CMW Common Mixed Waste

The minimum volume necessary for collection

As supplier for Nampak they want a minimum volume of 22 ton delivered or picked up by them once a month. This means 40 to 45 bales a month. When it is not possible to collect this amount once a month, you have the possibility to deliver this the following month when you have reached 22 ton or more.

Another possibility for the municipality is to lease a baling machine from Nampak, but than the BRWM must be able to deliver 120 ton of recyclable waste a month. In this case BRWM will get a lower price for their products.

The quality terms of the collected waste

Nampak uses quality terms what they have for each paper kind they recycle. See for more information annexure. The key to a good quality of recycled materials is to separate under cover, and to train the people who are separating.

The prices per kilo

The prices of paper are not very stable on the recycle market. It differs from day to day. Mr. Higgins told that Nampak is the highest payer at the moment. For now the prices are: K4: R800 per ton. NP: R100 per ton. SBM: R800 per ton. MW ‘’A’’: R1300 per ton. Latex SBM: R2200 per ton. Super Mix: R1100 per ton. HL 1: R2500 per ton. Plastics: R1400 per ton.

The prices are based on delivery by the municipality.


The prices are not included with transport cost. If the municipality wants Nampak to pick up the materials, they have to negotiate about the price.

Conclusions

Nampak is one of the biggest paper recyclers in Cape Town. They divide the different streams of waste in several groups. All the groups have other prices. Because of the unstable paper market, the prices change weekly. There is a minimum volume necessary for collection of 22 tons a month.


16

8 MINUTES ATLANTIC PLASTIC Date 10th of October 2008 Time 15:00 PM till 17:00 PM Introduction

In order to gather information about the commercial opportunities of the material recovery facility, we paid a visit to Steven Cheetman. He is one of the owners of Atlantic Plastic located in Cape Town.

About Atlantic plastic

Atlantic Plastic moves about 30 tons of plastic a day. The company collects LDPE, which they use produce new recycled plastic. The company also collects HDPE and PET, which they resell to other factories.

Interview questions

The different types of waste that the company collects Atlantic Plastic collects the following types of plastic: LDPE HDPE PET


A monthly 10 tons of plastic is the minimum volume necessary for collection. The quality terms of the collected waste

The quality of plastic depends on the loss factor. The loss factor is the percentage of other kinds of waste found in, for example, a bale of plastic. If there are too many other kinds of other materials found in the plastic, the loss factor is too high for collection at a level of 20% of other materials. You get less money for a bale if there is a loss factor. Atlantic Plastic could send somebody to train the people that will work in the MRF. This way, the quality and quantity of plastic separation will be higher.

The prices per kilo

The plastic market is relatively stable. It is hard to give an exact price for the plastic collected because the quality and the loss factor are unknown.

At the moment the prices a kilo without transport are: Clean R2,70/3,00 Mixed Colour R2,00/2,50 Clean rapping R0,80/1,00 HPDE R2,00/2,50 PET ± R2,30


17

Information about the transport Atlantic Plastic collects the waste at the municipality, the prices change when the waste has to be picked up.

Extra information

Besides the answers on the research questions more information is gathered.

Mr. Cheetman told that recycling in a MRF is impossible if there is no separation at source. The two bag system has to be used in the higher income parts of town. In the lower income parts of town a buyback system works better. A payment in the form of a food supply might work better then a financial one, the money that can be given will probably not be sufficient.

Besides that, Mr. Cheetman told us his opinion about privatising the MRF. To his opinion a municipality can not operate a MRF. The municipality can not work on the private market, the municipality is no scrap dealer he said. The market is a sustainable one, the municipality should not interfere.

At the moment Atlantic Plastic is doing business in the BRMW with Mr. K. van Wijk and Michael Onverwachts.

Mr. Cheetman gave us the contact information of Bertie Lourens, he knows a lot about statistics and has a connection with Waste Plan. He knows a lot about the collection of recyclables an interview with him should be really useful. Bertie has a plant too. His phone number is: 083 229 73 32

Conclusion

Atlantic Plastic collects different kinds of plastic. They resell HDPE en PET but they used LPDE in their own production process. Like the other companies, Atlantic Plastic offered to send people to train the people that will work at the MRF. The company offers transport, this will affect the prices.

Mr. Cheetman is a big patron of privatising the MRF.


18

9 MINUTES BEACONVALE RECYCLERS Date 13th of October 2008 Time 10:00 AM till 11:00 AM Introduction

In order to get more information about the commercial opportunities of the material recovery facility, Patrick Keverling Buisman, Lobke Jansen and Anouk Veldhuizen paid a visit to Beaconvale Recyclers and met Mrs. Erasmus, the co-owner of Beaconvale Recyclers.

About Beaconvale Recyclers

Beaconvale Recyclers is a small company on Connaught Road 43, Parow Cape Town. The company collects recyclable items it self but people, from trolley man to bukies, and small companies also stop by to drop their recyclables of.

Interview questions

The different types of waste that the company collects. The company collects various types of recyclable waste such as: Cardboard; White paper; Mix paper; Newspaper; Low density plastic; Polypropylene; Electronic scrap.

The minimal volume necessary for collection

Mrs. Erasmus immediately explains to us that a company as small as theirs is not able to collect waste from the municipality. The volume the municipality produces is too big for Beaconvale Recyclers. If you should bring the waste in no minimal volume is needed.

The quality terms of collected waste

The waste has to be very clean in order for Beaconvale Recyclers to collect it. Because they are the middleman between the municipality and companies such as NAMPAK, they have to live up to their standards. This means that for example PET bottles have to be completely clean, no glue and no plastics.

The price per kilo

The prices per kilogram are: Newspaper R0,10 White paper R0,15 Magazines/mix R0,15 LDPE R8 The prices also depend on the transport time and weight. If it is further away you will not get paid but they do collect the waste.


19

Information about the transport The company will collect waste but only to a certain amount of kilometres. When it is reachable but far the company will not pay for the waste they collect. Mrs. Erasmus was asked of it is possible for them if they collected the waste in Worcester. She told us that this was also too far.

Extra information

The separation has to start with the households. Containers and plastics bags are needed in order to get good recyclables. Paper should be bailed and sold so the municipality gets more money. Mondi is a good company to work with because they provide bins and they come and collect the waste for free. The municipalities of Milnerton, Malhurst, Malboroughs and Blauburg already have such systems in place. Maybe these are good references.

Conclusion

This is not the right company for the municipality. They do not have the capacity to take on al the waste. It is probably better to get in touch with the big companies because they can provide us with bins.


20

10 MINUTES PELMANCO RECYCLING Date 13th of October 2008 Time 13:00 PM till 15:00 PM Introduction

In order to find information about the commercial opportunities of the material recovery facility, Daan Grooten and Faroen Habieb paid a visit to Jan Rabie. He is the owner of Pelmanco Recycling.

About Pelmanco

Pelmanco is located in Cape Town. This company recycles plastic, about 16 ton of LDPE per day. Pelmanco buys the plastic from suppliers. With this as their resource they produce their own products; sheeting and tubes.

Interview questions

The information needed for the project are the following subjects:

The different types of waste that his company collects; The minimum volume necessary for collection; The quality terms of the collected waste; The prices per kilo;

The different types of waste that his company collects

They collect only Low Density Poly & Linear Low Density Poly, this can be divided in pre-sorted waste streams: Clear wash line plastic. Mixed Colours Consol Plastic For the definitions of these plastics see annexure.

The minimum volume necessary for collection Pelmanco collects or buys a minimum of 4 tons baled plastics. It does not matter how long it takes the supplier to collect this amount.

The quality terms of the collected waste The waste has to be clean. The level of unusable waste, found in the bales, has to be lower than 10% to 15%. With unusable waste is meant, that the bales of waste will not include foreign items like: paper, carton, tins, steel, other kinds of plastics. Also they cannot work with plastic that is contaminated with oils, household fats, chemicals, powders, agricultural mulch, films etc. Pelmanco offers a free training for the people that will work inside the MRF. Pelmanco will train them concerning the knowledge they need about the separation of useable waste, in this way the quality of the recyclables will be high enough.


21

The prices per kilo Prices on pre-sorted waste, included transport and without transport: Clear Washline plastics: R3,00 R3,50 Mixed Colours: R2,50 R2,75 Consol Plastic R4,50 R5,00 The plastic market is a relatively stable market.

Information about the transport The waste needs to be baled or manually baled in bags, containing 80 kilograms of plastic. The collector can give Pelmenco a call when 4 tons are collected.

Extra information

Mr. Rabie gave his opinion about outsourcing the MRF. He told us that it would be better for the Municipality to outsource the MRF. In this way the people that are running the MRF will be reliable on the amount of recyclables produced. This entrepreneurial way of thinking fits better in the recycling business then the mind state of a municipality. To his opinion political influences can be a hazard for the optimal working of the MRF.

Besides that, he pointed us on the fact that good supervision is very important if working with a MRF. If the supervision is not properly done, the quality of separation will be too low. Which leads to the fact that the product are not sellable, as a conclusion the MRF will not make any profit and can close it is doors.

Conclusion

Pelmenco is a potential buyer for the recyclable material LDPE. Benefits of Pelmenco are that there is a possibility that they can train the staff if necessary. Another benefit is that there is no minimum limit for the collection of recyclable goods, once you have collected 4 tons they come to transport the recyclables. There is no time limit for the collection of these 4 tons.


22

11 MINUTES CONSOL GLASS Date 13th of October 2008 Time 15:00 PM till 16:30 PM Introduction

Three of the team members, Patrick Keverling Buisman, Lobke Jansen and Anouk Veldhuizen, went to visit Consol Glass. They met Mr. K. Mitas who gave the answers to the questions the team had. The company is located at the Sacks Circle, Bellville South Cape Town.

About Consol Glass

Consol Glass is the biggest company in the Southern Africa who collects glass from the Western Cape to Reunion Island and even in Namibia. They make 1.1 million bottles per day!

Interview questions

Consol Glass was asked a few questions. The following questions ware asked: Different types of waste that is collected Minimum volume necessary for collection Information about the

The different types of waste that his company collects

Consol Glass collects only the bottles like: Green; White; Brown. They do not collect broken window glass or anything like that.


Consol Glass collects only when the volume is 30 tons or more. And information about the transport

The transport for collecting bottles of glass is free. The prices per kilo

By a volume of 30 tons Consol Glass gives R280 per ton. The quality terms of the collected waste

The glass that Consol Glass collects doesn’t have to be clean.


23

Extra information The idea for a two bag system does not work in the townships, because they do not know what to do with it. What a buy back centre will do:

They can earn money when they bring empty bottles back The Municipality can give those people food coupons 63% is recovered by people in the high income community 2% till 3% is recovered by people in the low income community

The glass that comes in is put in a huge funnel where inside there is a computer that sorted out the glass in the colours:

White Green Brown

The sorted glass falls into big containers which stood under the funnel.

In 2011 there will be a new recycling centre across there company.

The biggest landfill is in Fishhoek.

Consol Glass gave us the name and telephone number of Bertie Lourens, who is a manager of Waste Plan. They also gave us the site: www.wasteplan.co.za and we definitely has to talk to them.

They told us that Mondi, Sappi, Collect a Can and Petco are the biggest companies that we has to visit. Petco is the leader of the plastic recycling.

Conclusion

Consol Glass gave the team a lot of information, as is given in “extra information”, the percentage of collecting by a two bag system.

They have received the e-mail the team has sent to them, and they will answer the e-mail in detail. If the team receives this e-mail, the team has all the information needed for the research.


24

12 MINUTES CONVENTION Date 14th of October 2008 Time 10:30 AM till 13:00 PM Introduction

The entire team, consisting of Faroen Habieb, Daan Grooten, Patrick Keverling Buisman, Lobke Jansen and Anouk Veldhuizen, has visited the Convention of Propac 2008. On this conference stood some of the important stakeholders the team wants to visit.

About the Conference

The team wanted to get in touch with Rhino Plastics and they asked us to go to the convention because they have a stand there. When the team arrives at the convention, they saw more stakeholders than Rhino Plastics. They saw also the following stakeholders:

Sappi Mondi Envirio

They went to the different stands and spoke to the managers of the companies. Some of the managers gave other names and phone numbers so the team can call the right people for there questions about the waste streams of the company.

When the team went to the stand of Rhino Plastics they asked for Mr. R. Conway. He wasn’t there at the moment the team arrived because his flight was delayed, but he definitively will be there soon.

Later that day Faroen and Daan went back to the stand of Rhino Plastics and spoke to Mr. Conway. After 30 minutes they came back with a lot of information.

Conclusion

Although the convention was about packaging, it was very interesting for the team, because they saw the different kind of packaging machines that all the companies used.

The people that spoke to the team were warm, kind and interesting in the project of Breede River Winelands Municipality and, as said before, are willing to come over to Robertson.


25

13 MINUTES DESCO Date 15th of October 2008 Time 10:00 AM till 11:00 AM Introduction

Because Desco is an e-waste recycler the team, consisting of Lobke Jansen, Patrick Keverling Buisman and Anouk Veldhuizen, went to the company. At Desco, we met Mr. D. Bradford who was able to tell the team what they could collect and gave the team the answers that they needed for the research. The company is located at West Street, gate 2, Bloekombos Cape Town.

About Desco

Desco is a small (family) company and the only company in Cape Town who collects electronically waste, also known as e-waste. The company is responsible for the whole Western Cape. Desco collects the e-waste with two pick-ups he owns.

Interview questions

The different types of waste that the company collects: Desco collects computers and old medical equipment.


The minimal volume that is necessary for collection for Desco is when a pick-up is loaded. The prices per item

At the moment Desco gives R5 for the computers they collect. It depends on the market price what he asks for the monitor. For the computer boxes Desco gives R2 per box.

The quality terms of the collected waste

Desco has no exact quality terms. And information about the transport

How further Desco must collect the e-waste how less you get for it. Extra information

He sends his trucks to Johannesburg when the containers are full. When the computers are stripped the HDPE is going to a company in Paarl. Desco pays for most of the stuff that is collected. Desco does not want to strip the computers any more, because it costs too much time. They want to clean the place and get two containers where the collected e-waste can be stored. The company does not collect any tubes or light bulbs.

Conclusion Desco is the only company in Cape Town that recycles e-waste. In comparison with the domestic waste this company is not interesting for the municipality.

14 MINUTES COLLECT A CAN Date 15th of October 2008 Time 12:00 PM till 14:30 PM Introduction

In order to find information about the commercial opportunities of the separation from cans in the Material Recovery Centre, Faroen Habieb and Daan Grooten paid a visit to Rodrick Resandt. Rodrick Resandt is the manager of Collect a Can.

About Collect a Can Collect a Can is a non – profit organization, the profit they make will be spend in infrastructure concerning the recycling of the cans and marketing of their company. Rodrick Resandt showed us a DVD with information about the recycling process and how they bale the cans. For the municipality it is important to work with the two bag system and sort the recyclables in the MRF. The next step is baling. Mr. R. Resandt told us that it is possible to use one baling machine for plastic, paper and cans, but the bale of the cans will not be that compact and massive than using a baling machine especially for cans. Collect a Can provides their suppliers with the baling machines for cans. It is also possible for the municipality to use their own baling machine, but the prices will stay the same. To get the baling machine, the municipality has to produce 10 ton of cans a month. When this is not possible you will get, for example the bailing machine for two weeks to bale your cans when you have reached enough volume to bale. They also collect non-baled cans, but with this the transport will be more expensive, because the volume you are able to transport will be smaller.

Interview questions The different types of waste that his company collects:

Collect a Can collects all cans as long as it is steel. The minimum volume necessary for collection

They can collect every amount but the more the better. If the municipality wants to use their baling machine they must be able to bale 10 ton of cans a month.

The quality terms of the collected waste The quality of the cans doesn’t matter as long as there are no fluids or sand in the cans. It isn’t a problem if the cans are rusty.

The prices per kilo Cans: R1000 per ton.

If you’re transport is R300 per ton. If you’re labours costs to bale is R200 per ton. Extra profit made R200 per ton. ------------ + Total will proximately be R1700 per ton. Collect a Can works with this system. If the BRWM only collects the cans, you will get 1000 R per ton. The more work you put in it, the higher the price you’ll get for the cans will be.


27

Information about the transport They can pick up the cans or you can deliver to them. If you deliver to them the transport costs will be refunded.

Extra Information

His opinion about the Material Recovery Facility is to privatize it after the municipality has finished building. This is because the municipalities are no experts in recycling. The BRWM profit will be the airspace that they will save by setting up the MRF. Except job creation there will be some job losses, this aspect it inevitable. The jobs that will be offered are organized and hygienic, not how the pickers are working on the landfill in this current situation.

Companies like Coca Cola, Namibian Breweries (Windhoek) actively support Collect a Cans operations. For them it is possible to see what the income is the amount of cans in a certain place. So when necessary they can provide numbers of the proximate amount of cans are purchased in that certain place, for example Robertson.

Conclusion

Collect a Can is a potential buyer for the recyclable material of cans. A benefit of Collect a Can is that there is a possibility that there is no minimum limit for the collection of recyclable cans.


28

15 MINUTES SAPPI Date 15th of October 2008 Time 13:00 PM till 14:00 PM Introduction

Because this is one of the biggest companies that recycles paper. Lobke Jansen, Patrick Keverling Buisman en Anouk Veldhuizen visited this company for more information about waste paper. They met Mr. M. G. Sneijder at the CTICC building.

About Sappi

Sappi is one of the biggest companies in Cape Town who collects 220 tons of white papers a year.

Interview questions

The different types of waste that the company collects Sappi collects four kinds of paper:

White office paper Newspaper Cardboard Mixed paper Flyers Magazines Etc.


The minimum volume for collection is 30 tones of paper a month. The prices per kilo

Sappi can’t give us prices for the collected paper, because the prices convert time after time. The quality terms of the collected waste

When the paper is loose it is not transportable for Sappi so it has to be baled on site. And information about the transport

There are no costs for the transport.


29

Extra information Sappi is clear about the way of separating the domestic waste. They say: “Give the people one clear bag that is only for recyclables and let them places the bag on top of the bin. There are two trucks: one that collects the clear bag and the following truck behind the first who will empty the bin.” They also said: “Give Sappi subsidy. Dumping costs are much higher than to give a subsidy .This way it is financially much more attractive for the municipality. The benefit for the municipality is that they have less waste and less financial expenses.

The team must speak to Bertie Lourens, because he can give the information that is needed for the household / domestic waste. Waste costs money but less if you do it yourself.If the team wants to know what really works for the municipality the team should ask Bertie about it.

Sappi also said: “Maybe it is useful that I come one time to Robertson and see how the situation is so I can give my objective” and “If you are in Cape Town the next time, please give me a call so I can give you a tour through the company’.

The company stands behind the idea for separating at source.

The team asks Sappi about legislation and the answer was: “Retailers are not, by legislation, required to take care of their waste. The industry self-regulates now. For example you need to pay for a plastic bag and 3 cents per bag goes to a fund of which recycling projects are set up. It is better to self-regulate then to wait for the government because that is far worse for us.

World wide there is a shortage of wastepaper so the prices of waste paper experience a steep increase.

At the moment South-Africa is not burning waste for energy.

Sappi thinks that privatising is an important part of minimizing the waste because that’s the most effective way for the municipality.

PRASA is the Paper Recycling Association South Africa. This is an organization who wants:

An better environment; Job creation; Extending life of landfill sites, Reduced costs to local authorities

Conclusion

From all the companies the team has spoken to, they all said: “The two bag system does not work in the townships.” It is obvious that Sappi as a company is interested in the way the project for the Breede River Winelands Municipality will be set up.

16 MINUTES WASTE PLAN Date 28th of October 2008 Time 10:00 AM till 12:00 PM Introduction

The director of Waste Plan is Mr. Bertie Lourens. A lot of the companies and organization which we have met during our stay in Cape Town referred to him as THE man to speak to concerning waste (collection) solution and how a MRF works best.

About Waste Plan

Waste Plan is a waste management company that specializes in the reduction, recycling, removal and reporting of waste generated in the manufacturing and retail sectors as well as municipal residential areas. Their main focal point is on removals reduction and to minimize waste to the landfill.

Interview questions

Before we went to the meeting we thought about what we wanted to ask Mr. Lourens exactly. The following questions where formed: Do you have any statistics about waste produced by households and what the recycling

percentage is per (income) area? Which collecting systems are most suitable for the different (income) areas? Especially

because these areas are very close to each other? Is outsourcing the MRF the best option for the municipality? Is It financially feasible to separate everything at source and store the items or does the

BRWM produce enough waste which can be transported at once? Is it possible to involve stakeholders in projects like a buyback centre? (financial support)

Interview

Bertie Lourens asked us a few questions about what the intention of our research is. After explaining what we are doing for the BRWM and that is a school project he started with how they promote separating at source. He handed us an envelope which contained a recycled plastic bag for all recyclables, a letter of introduction, a manual (what to separate) and a folder about recycling e-waste. They spread this folder in the high income areas where it was received very well. The collection of the clear bags was done by the Waste Plan trucks which bring it to the MRF. The MRF is totally manual; everything is done by hand except for the baling. This MRF is very labour intensive.

Bertie Lourens told us that there are two kinds of MRF’s; a dirty and a clean version. In a clean MRF they only process packaging waste in the clear bags. In a dirty MRF they do mixed waste. The recovered percentage of waste in the clean MRF is much higher (90%) than in the dirty MRF (5%). The clean MRF is therefore much more expensive but also more effective than the dirty MRF; a middle way should be perfect but does not exist yet.

Waste Plan runs a few projects. One of the projects which they run at the moment is ThinkTwice. This project is about collecting separated waste. The project runs well because they have fixed buyers of their waste. Companies like Collect a Can, Mondi and Petco. Fixed buyers are for trial projects a must have. This is because marketing is a big issue. Making people aware of the problem and make them recycle their waste takes a lot of effort. It is also possible to drive the people to recycling by legislation but this does not always work.


31

Awareness is therefore better. It is very important for the project that informal collectors (pickers) cooperate in the project or else they could break it. A solution is to tell them that they cannot open clear bags but they can search through other garbage. Whatever the informal collectors find they can bring to Waste Plan and the informal collectors will earn money for it. For now, 11 informal collectors are being paid by Waste Plan approximately R300-500 per person per week. Waste Plan completed a research project about the possibility of recycling system in a high and low income area. The project lasted for 8 months and was in Delft, a low income area of 60.000 homes. In Atlantic, a high income area, the research was performed on 11.000 homes. The outcomes are stated in the following schedule.

Type in tonnes

Delft (Low income) 60.000 homes

% Atlantic (High Income) 11.000 homes

%

Total collected waste (clear bag)

123.234 100,00 971.279 100,00

Total recycled waste (recovered)

25.341 20,56 865.912 89,15

Total waste to landfill 97.893 79,44 83.040 10,85

This schedule shows that a similar system for the areas is not possible. This system is suitable for the high income area but is not feasible for a low income area. A solution for as low income area could be a buy-back centre. Buyisa-e-bag is a company that sets up buy-back centres in communities like BRWM. They train an entrepreneur and provide a start-up capital for the founding of a buy-back centre. The buy-back centres are only found in the East Cape especially in Johannesburg. A contact is: Enoch Dlamany, telephone number: 082 3042522. He is responsible to acquire new projects and he will help to compose a businessplan. He is also able to help with the collection of waste.

It is very important that the project is driven by the municipality/government because the citizens will participate in the project sooner. When a company from the outside comes in and tries to do the project the citizens will not listen and think that the company only wants to make a profit. The priorities of the government should be the following; 1 creating jobs, 2 saving airspace landfill, in order to make it work. It is important that the municipality sends out a tender and searches for the best proposal. It is also very important to get the media into the project. Good publications and advertises are important to get the message to the citizens.

Municipalities do not always have the funds for the build of a MRF or to keep it running. Therefore it is important to make a proposal about the costs to all recyclers. Te most important 4 elements that should be financed are: 1. Marketing; 2. Collection; 3. Sorting; 4. Management.

The waste the municipality produces is about 675 tons a month. This is calculated with about 60% of the citizens 45.000, which will produce about 15KG per month per person. It will still be worth if only the rich people recycle.


32

Making a profit with a MRF is nearly impossible because the costs you have to make to keep the MRF working are higher than the costs you get for the selling of recyclable waste products.

Extra information

Solutions for abattoir waste are incinerating or bring it to a meat processing factory. Garden waste could be put in green bags. A machine that bales foam could be useful. Costs R60.000 Telephone number of Adri Spaneberg of foam company is 082 68651082 The Ashton landfill site is illegal; it is not stated in documents and does not have codes for abattoir waste.

Non recyclable waste

Paper

Paper should be supplied air dry and deductions for the moisture shall be made where appropriate. Recycling companies will do a checking procedure to measure the amount of moisture when the products are received. If the product is not of an acceptable quality standard, the delivery shall be downgraded to a lesser value grade. All waste paper shall be supplied free of prohibitive materials and out- throws. Examples of prohibitive materials Anything which is not paper or paper board e.g. synthetic materials, textiles, sand, gravel, ash, metals, glass, oil, grease, wood, latex. Examples of contrary materials Paper or paperboard which has been manufactured or treated as to be unsuitable for re-pulping e.g. greaseproof paper, adhesive tapes, wet strength, carbon paper, metallic foil, wax coated papers, poly coated paper, metal objects, rags, all plastics and sticky labels. Examples of out-throws Material that does not meet the definitions for a particular grade. The supplier should be able to ensure the absence of such materials from the products and within the bales.

Plastic The quality of plastic depends most on the loss factor. If there are too many kinds of other materials found in the plastic, the loss factor is too high for collection at a level of 20% of other materials. Recyclers pay less money for a bale if there is a loss factor. All different kinds of HDPE and jugs that contained poisons have to be cleaned three times and holes must be made into the can.

Cans / Tins The quality of the cans does not matter as long as there are no fluids or sand in the cans. It also is not a problem if the cans are rusty. As long as the product consist of tin it is acceptable for the recycling company.

Glass Considering the quality of glass that has to be collected for recycling, a distinction can be made for each type of glass. Within this waste stream there are green, brown and white bottles. With white glass is meant glass from bottles. The quality of the bottles does not matter; even when it is broken it gets accepted by the recycling company. Only window glass and other sorts of glass are not accepted. Mixing the bottles during the collection is not a problem. When the bottles arrive at the recycling company they separate the different colours of bottles by machine.
