A major part of our waste management facility, the Sorting Plant, has been successfully installed at the Pomona site, making history as the first-ever such modern equipment in Southern Africa.
This was no easy feat as it took dedication and commitment to install and test the Sorting Plant. The equipment is a game-changer in the country’s waste management.
The official commissioning of the Sorting Plant will be held soon as we continue to transform a once-smelly dumpsite into an enviable waste management facility.
The Sorting Plant brings manual waste separation at the site to an end.
This is groundbreaking news in waste management in Zimbabwe because, for many years, waste pickers faced serious health risks, being exposed to hazardous materials and harmful gases.
It is interesting to note that once the Sorting Plant is operational, waste arriving at our site will be separated, recyclable materials will be set aside, and high-calorific waste will fuel the Waste to Energy Plant. Our power generation plant will produce 16-22 megawatts of electricity which will be fed into the national grid.
This technological innovation marks a giant leap in reducing landfill use and championing our Zero Waste to Landfill policy.
Utilizing a combination of mechanical and manual sorting methods, our facility will maximize the recovery of recyclable materials such as metal, glass, and plastic.
