Waste-ED Solutions (PTY)

Waste-ED Solutions is the consulting and systems design arm of Waste-ED’s hybrid model. We provide strategic advisory, training, and implementation services to NGOs, government bodies, and private sector entities seeking to embed sustainability and circular economy principles into their operations.

Our consulting work focuses on helping institutions develop waste and resource management strategies that are not only technically sound, but also inclusive, locally informed, and aligned with broader environmental goals. From informal sector integration to organisational transformation, we partner with clients to co-create scalable models that shift the narrative of waste from burden to opportunity.

Through our PTY, we reinvest a portion of profits into the Waste-ED Foundation, allowing us to support grassroots education, policy advocacy, and capacity building efforts across the continent.
