Sustainable Water & Remediation Solutions
Water is one of the most important building blocks of life and a key earth element. In fact, without it we could not survive. Yet in a water scarce country like South Africa, this key resource is continuously disregarded. In Gauteng for example, 37% of water is lost through leaky infrastructure, whilst 50% is lost on site. Water is life, hence it is for this reason we have deployed leading experts both locally and internationally utilising accredited technologies to re-use, recycle, remediate and manage the war on leaks. The Green Co provides turnkey solutions for all our customers, water management, filtration and bioremediation needs. All supplied in a highly cost efficient and sustainable manner. We supply robust operations and maintenance options for continued service and support throughout the lifespan of your solution.
Green Advisory
Our trusted green advisors are proficient at interpreting customer requirements and uncovering latent needs, based on the companies current and future outcomes. Our professional services include needs analysis, predictive analytics, solution identification and design. We recommend the most cost effective and appropriate fit for purpose technologies. Our end to end installation and project management solutions are backed by stringent service level agreements and include onsite or remote management capabilities.
Revenue Generating Waste Management
Have you ever heard it said that one persons poison is another persons pleasure. As we continue to buy and throw away, the plastic pollution in our oceans grows daily. So much so that it is estimated that there will be more plastic in the oceans by 2050 than fish! A large portion of your waste can be recycled to generate additional income. In fact many waste sources are used to create much needed energy, such as biofuels, all whilst creating a sustainable circular economy. Waste management programmes aid in revenue enhancement initiatives, whilst also creating employment. Our leading industry experts are able to deliver onsite waste management, hazardous waste removal, waste to energy and a host of cutting edge waste management technologies that are compliant with the relevant waste regulations.
Leading ICT Solutions
There is an old and true adage that says "If you can''t measure it you can't manage it.
As the cost of IT services continues to evolve through more effective and efficient deployments, the key questions that businesses need to ask is "Am I paying too much, and am I getting the most robust, value for money and secure solutions available in the market today?" With over 3 decades of successful deployments in the ICT sector, our team of highly professional system engineers have a proven track record of success in businesses across industries of all sizes.
Bioremediation
As technological enhancements continue to develop, new and more efficient technologies are being brought to bare. Bioremediation for biological improvement to soil, provides better structure and porosity, which helps reduce the need for fertilisers and control agents are just one such type of technology. We develop and implement treatment plans based on the individual customer needs of major agricultural and large land body requirements for enhanced crop yield. Example of bioremediation include oil spill cleanup and other pollutant remediation requirements.
The Facts
Doing well by doing good
The world faces multiple threats from climate change and South Africa and the rest of the African continent is no different. Across sectors – agriculture, fisheries, infrastructure, tourism and more – the costs to the economy is substantial. Without urgent and determined action, South Africa stands to lose 5.03% of its GDP by 2050, rising to 13.5% by 2100.
It is for this very reason that we at The Green Co are proud to do our part in helping our clients to do well by doing good!
In the midst of the energy crisis in South Africa, renewable energy plays a significant role in socio-economic development, whilst improving energy security, creating jobs, reducing the environmental impact and providing access to electricity where the incumbent power provider can not. The move towards sustainable energy sources continues at an accelerated pace, so much so that shareholders, customers and partners alike are now seeking out businesses that are sustainability focused with clear circular economy and zero emission goals.
In South Africa water demand is expected to exceed supply by 17% in 2030. The 4 drivers of physical water scarcity in South Africa include increased demand, population growth, climate change and pollution. Sustainable water management, conservation, efficiency and pollution reduction together with improved infrastructure are key to the mitigation of these serious problems facing South Africa.
Each year, South Africa generates more than 50 million tonnes of general waste with only a third being recycled, with the remainder being disposed of in landfill sites, all whilst we are running out of landfill space. Our oceans and ecology continue to be heavily polluted.
The Green Co provides sustainable ENERGY, WATER, WASTE AND IT solutions to mitigate these threats.
Corporate Social Responsibility | Investment (CSR & CSI) is a business imperative as communities are becoming more reliant on the goodwill of responsible corporate citizens just to ensure their basic needs are met. The high rate of unemployment, coupled with high poverty rates in South Africa means going green isn’t just about doing good business but helping to uplift the communities in which businesses serve.
The annual average PM2.5 concentration in South Africa (Gauteng area) is 6 times greater than the WHO recommended concentration levels. The primary contributors of air pollution are industrial & coal fired power plants. Inadequate distribution of electricity grid expansion has failed to keep pace with rapid urbanisation and the growth of informal settlements. Because of regular power outages (known locally as “load shedding”), businesses and residents, are heavily reliant on off-grid diesel generators. This generates yet more toxic air.
Natural disasters in South Africa (eg: droughts, floods, storms) have lead to significant social and economic losses, which is anticipated to exacerbate as consequence of climate change. Due to its topography and human settlement distribution, South Africa is especially vulnerable to climate change and the impacts on human settlements and critical ecosystem services. There is evidence that extreme weather events are increasing, with heat waves more likely, dry spell durations lengthening and flood intensity increasing.
South Africa is forecast to have 8.24 million unemployed in 2024. Investment into critical infrastructure like sustainable energy is a key driver of jobs in the country.
Since 1990, the national average temperature has increased twice as fast as global temperatures. Extreme weather events are increasing, with heat waves more likely, dry spell durations lengthening and rainfall intensity increasing.
Our drinking water is contaminated by sewage and bacteria attributing to cholera and other outbreaks.
South Africa is facing water scarcity as there is just not enough water to supply the growing population. We have an average yearly rainfall of almost half the global average. Approximately 70 million litres of clean drinkable water a day is lost due to leaks characteristic of South Africas ailing infrastructure.
