Empowering a Cleaner Future with eWaste Africa
As the global conversation around sustainability gains urgency, the need for responsible electronic waste (e-waste) management has never been greater. At the forefront of South Africa’s green revolution is eWaste Africa, a pioneering company dedicated to the ethical collection, recycling, and disposal of electronic waste and fluorescent lighting.

eWaste Africa isn’t just managing waste—they’re redefining how businesses and communities think about electronic sustainability.

A Bright Idea That Sparked a Movement
Founded with a vision to address one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally, eWaste Africa began as a solution to a pressing environmental challenge. South Africa, like much of the world, faces mounting volumes of discarded electronics and mercury-containing lamps. These items pose significant risks to both human health and the environment if not disposed of correctly.

eWaste Africa stepped in with innovative solutions—offering safe, compliant, and environmentally friendly e-waste and lamp recycling services across the country. Their mobile crushing and recycling units, collection systems, and data destruction services have positioned them as industry leaders.

Lighting the Way in Mercury Recovery
One of eWaste Africa’s standout achievements is their mercury recovery plant—Africa’s first commercial facility of its kind. This world-class infrastructure allows for the safe extraction and recovery of mercury from fluorescent lamps, helping to prevent toxic contamination of land and water resources. By recovering mercury, the company not only diverts hazardous material from landfills but also contributes to the circular economy through sustainable resource management.

Driving Compliance and Corporate Responsibility
With South Africa’s National Environmental Management: Waste Act and increasing global focus on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), companies are under growing pressure to comply with e-waste regulations. eWaste Africa supports clients across industries—from manufacturing to retail and government—by offering end-to-end, certified disposal services that ensure environmental compliance.

Whether it’s secure data destruction for IT equipment or documented, traceable lamp disposal, eWaste Africa empowers its partners to reduce risk and demonstrate corporate accountability.

Innovation with Impact
What sets eWaste Africa apart is its commitment to innovation, impact, and education. The company works hand-in-hand with communities, municipalities, and schools to raise awareness about the dangers of improper e-waste disposal. They also promote recycling through outreach campaigns and accessible drop-off points—fostering a culture of environmental responsibility.

Through research and partnerships, eWaste Africa continues to enhance its services and expand its reach, contributing significantly to South Africa’s sustainable development goals.

Looking Ahead
As we move towards a more digitized world, electronic waste is an inevitable by-product. But with companies like eWaste Africa leading the charge, the future doesn’t have to be toxic. Instead, it can be powered by innovation, informed by science, and inspired by a shared commitment to the planet.

eWaste Africa proves that business success and environmental stewardship can—and should—go hand in hand.
