Sasol reuses wax from spent catalysts as part of commitment to responsible production and consumption
"We are gaining environmental and economic benefits from the reduction in landfill volumes and recovery of saleable product," said Steve Radley , Sasol Vice President: Wax and Solvents, Energy Operations.
"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."
Founder of GrnCat Holdings, Dr. Jan Reynhardt, added: "Since the start-up of our wax recovery plant three years ago, we have been constantly optimising our processes. We have been able to increase our capacity by 60 per cent to 400 tons per month of clean wax."
Radley said Sasol has prioritised four relevant SDGs, including SDG12 which is to ensure that the business is environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.
"The collaboration with GrnCat is a pleasing success story for Sasol, GrnCat, the surrounding community and the environment. It also demonstrates our commitment to continuous improvement and to making sustainability a reality," he added.
