Drum Re-Conditioners
ROSE Foundation Support
• Ensure re-furbishers are legally and environmentally compliant
• Highlight areas of non-compliance• Provide a management plan and time-frame for
compliance• Provide feed back on legal requirements • Air Emissions Testing on Incinerators• 9 re-conditioners (out of 24) have been issued
waste licenses to date
Some Challenges
• Fraud, theft, mis-representation• Generators to be held accountable for
safe disposal• Little Enforcement by Government• Industry made up of 40% oil drums,
50% chemical and 10% other – not all packaging sent for responsible recond
• Unlicensed sites still commercially active

THE WASTE ACT No.59 of 2008
- passed in March 2009- promulgated in July 2009

GENERAL APPROACH OF THE WASTE ACT
• The Waste Act adopts the waste hierarchy as a national approach to waste management
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
“Extended producer responsibility measures” mean actions that extend a person’s financial or physical responsibility for a product to the post-consumer stage of the product and includes:
• Waste minimisation programmes• Financial arrangements for any fund that has been established
to promote the reduction, reuse, recycling and recovery of waste
• Awareness programmes to inform the public of the impacts of waste emanating from the product on human health and the environment
• Any other measures to reduce the potential impact of the product on health and the environment
Life Cycle Responsible Care
Managing the Value Chain
waste generator - any person whose actions, production processes or activities, including waste management activities, results in waste
waste transporter - any person who conveys or transfers waste—(a) between the waste generator and a waste management facility or(b) between waste management facilities
waste manager - any person that re-uses, recycles, recovers, treats or disposes of waste, including the waste generator
waste manifest system - a system of control documentation containing the information as specified in the Regulations, maintained by the waste generator, waste transporter and waste manager, which accompanies a load of hazardous waste from the point of generation to final management
Future Drivers• Solicit at least 90% of re-conditioners to become
Members and compliant• Implement aggressive advertising on education and
awareness around safe disposal of packaging• SAICRA membership must be commercially
beneficial • Solicit International Affiliation• Implement Best Global Practice• Drive EPR - local and global players• Waste charges to be introduced ???
