ccording to the latest available statistics, South Africans generate about 122 million tonnes of waste per year, of which only 10% is recycled or recovered for other uses.

Smarter and more tech-focused solutions for the collection and transportation of solid waste are already contributing to efficient

Digital technologies in the solid waste sector now contain elements of robotics, artificial intelligence, internet of things, cloud computing, data analysis and communication technology. Sonia Pretorius, National Sales Manager for 600SA, a division of CFAO Equipment SA that assembles and sells refuse compactors says technology-based solutions make a significant difference in streamlining waste management operations in several ways.
