JOHANNESBURG, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

In keeping with its priority Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of responsible

production and consumption, Sasol and waste management company GrnCat, have

developed a solution to recover wax from spent catalysts.

Since the GrnCat plant was commissioned in 2018, Sasol has recovered and reused

more than 6,000 tons of clean wax, thereby reducing waste volumes by as much as

50 percent. The creation of 30 new jobs associated with the process has added a

social benefit to the environmental and economic advantages.

"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

responsible production and consumption, 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.
