As the revolution around ‘waste’ continues, Handbook Volume 2 turns its focus on the Sustainable, Affordable Beneficiation of ‘Waste’ Materials.

What is the Waste Revolution Handbook about?
Three key areas are addressed in this edition.  Part one contextualises South Africa’s current waste legislation, which is responsible for driving change.  Part two and three look at the solutions and changes necessary for a shift in South Africa’s waste management practice.  Part two considers the issue of affordability, and part three focuses on beneficiation.

What is the Waste Revolution Handbook trying to achieve?
The Waste Revolution Handbook ensures that the most relevant decision makers in South Africa are supplied with the essential research, regulatory and practical commercial information that they require.
