Since the GrnCat plant was commissioned in 2018, Sasol has recovered and reused more than 6,000 tons of clean wax, thereby reducing waste volumes by as much as 50 percent. The creation of 30 new jobs associated with the process has added a social benefit to the environmental and economic advantages.

“We are gaining environmental and economic benefits from the reduction in landfill volumes and recovery of saleable product”, Steve Radley, Sasol Vice President: Wax and Solvents, Energy Operations said. “We are also supporting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through established government funding institutions, which aim to promote economic growth and industrial development in the surrounding community.”
