RECYCLING

At Thomson’s Sabie, we are committed to promoting environmental sustainability by offering top-dollar prices for recyclable materials, including glass, various plastic types, tins, sub-grade metal, paper, and more. Our state-of-the-art facility features a modern weighbridge and advanced equipment for efficient processing of waste products. With a dedicated collection service, we collect recyclables daily from both local and outlying areas, covering regions such as Graskop, Lydenburg, Pilgrim’s Rest, Burgersfort, Ohrigstad, Hazyview, and Busbuckridge.

A significant focus of our recycling division is on empowering disadvantaged entrepreneurs and benefiting communities through job creation and economic opportunities. Over 90% of the materials processed at our plant are sourced from these entrepreneurs, contributing to a greener province and a more sustainable future for all. Join us in making a positive impact on the environment and embracing a greener, more eco-conscious lifestyle through responsible recycling practices.

What is Our Recycling Process?

Recycling is a process that involves collecting, sorting, processing, and converting waste materials into new products or raw materials. Here’s an overview of how our recycling process works:

  • Collection: The first step in the recycling process is the collection of recyclable materials. This can be done through various means, such as curbside collection by municipal waste management services, drop-off centers, or specialized recycling facilities.
  • Sorting: Once collected, the recyclable materials are sorted into different categories based on their type, such as glass, plastics, paper, metals, and others. Sorting can be done manually or using advanced machinery and technologies.
  • Processing: After sorting, the materials undergo processing to prepare them for reuse. For example, plastics may be shredded or melted to create raw materials for manufacturing new products. Paper can be pulped and converted into new paper products.

  • Conversion: The processed materials are then converted into new products or raw materials. For instance, recycled glass can be used to create new bottles and jars, while recycled metal can be used to make new cans or construction materials.
  • Manufacturing: The converted materials are then used in the manufacturing of new products. These products, made from recycled materials, are often labeled as “recycled” or “made with recycled content.”
  • Consumer Use: The new products made from recycled materials are distributed to consumers, who use them just like any other product. By using these recycled products, consumers play a crucial role in closing the recycling loop and supporting the sustainable use of resources.

Recycling helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills, conserves natural resources, saves energy, and decreases greenhouse gas emissions. It is a vital practice in promoting environmental sustainability and creating a circular economy, where materials are reused, reducing the need for new raw materials and minimizing the environmental impact of production.
