DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT “The Provincial Perspective” Presentation at the Johannesburg Waste Summit by Zingisa Smale 24 - 25 March 2015

Contents Gauteng in relation to other South African Provinces Gauteng: Context for waste management Policy and Legislation considerations Waste Management Statistics Gauteng General Waste Composition Waste Information Statistics for Jan 2013 – Dec 2013 Challenges, solutions and opportunities

Gauteng in relation to other SA Provinces

Gauteng : Context Geographically, Gauteng is smallest of South Africa’s (SA) 9 provinces Is the most populous province , with estimated 12.9 million people - 23.9% of estimated 54 million population (Stat SA, 2014) Is the economic and industrial hub of South Africa with 36% contribution to SA gross domestic product (GDP) and 10 % contribution to Africa’s GDP (GPG SOPA, 2015) International research has linked increase in wealth with increased waste generation (Matsunaga and Nickolas (2002), Shaw (1989) Gauteng in 2011 contributed an estimated 45% to the total municipal waste generated in SA (DEA, 2012) In 2013, 6.4 million tons (40.9%) of general waste was landfilled and 5.5 million tons (34.9% ) was recycled from a total of 15.7million tons reported (GWIS, 2014). Waste generation is indicative of, and results in resource and energy wastage; may result in air, soil and water pollution , as well as land sterilization Gauteng experiences competing land-uses and there is a need for job creation in the waste sector There is a need to ensure the avoidance of waste generation and landfilling through efficient resource usage , reuse and recycling should be prioritised

Policy and Legislation considerations The South African waste management policy supports a waste management approach which avoids waste generation, promotes : cleaner production , waste minimisation, re-use, recycling recovery and waste treatment with disposal seen as a last resort There was in July 2009 an important milestone in the enactment of National Environmental Management: Waste Act, Act 59 of 2008 (“Waste Act”) Provinces were enabled by the Waste Act Regulations to review Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and issue licenses for “listed activities” i.e. activities that “have, or are likely to have a detrimental effect on the environment including recycling of waste” The listed activities were revised in 29 Nov 2013 to facilitate recycling Norms and Standards were passed for, inter alia, storage of waste and for the scrapping of vehicles to facilitate recycling

Gauteng General Waste Composition (GDARD, 2010)

Waste Stats for Jan 2013 – Dec 2013 (GWIS, 2014) Total waste reported 15.7 Million tons

Some challenges, solutions and opportunities Waste separation at source is not mainstreamed - leading to contamination and reduced recyclable volumes Provision of a recyclable waste bag by all Gauteng municipalities as a minimum Opportunity for SMME / Waste Pickers to be formalised to collect recycled waste away from landfills 65% of general waste not recycled in 2013 Resource efficiency opportunity for organisations Illegal dumping of building and Demolition waste All municipalities need to publicise where builders rubble is accepted Research opportunity for materials scientists, innovation opportunity for the building industry An opportunity for government to create a recyclable goods market by setting targets for buying SA recycled goods Waste Service Provider contacts mainly based on collected and landfilled waste New contracts must, by design, reward waste separation, re-use and recycling rather than reward disposal Litter and illegal Dumping Awareness raising that littering is a crime Increase recycling , By-law enforcement Some challenges, solutions and opportunities

Source separation as a key to increased recycling Increased Employment Increased Recycling Job creation Source Separation
