As far as electronic waste in South Africa goes, the work has only just begun. Fortunately, key players like E-Waste Recycling Authority are making strides in this area, as shown by their recently released 2023 Annual Report.
“We’re happy with the results from our first year of operations for ERA and are committed to keeping momentum through our strategic partnerships, driving public awareness, engaging WEEE producers, and working closely with DFFE,” says Ashley du Plooy, CEO of ERA. More recently, industries coming onboard are the Solar sector, Retailers, as well as companies working in Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning . The latest focus areas ERA has identified are Lighting Waste and Batteries, for which new departments are being formed at ERA, governed by unique EPR Notices.
These efforts are funded by the fees and levies paid by producer members, as are their ongoing campaigns to educate the public and drive awareness for increased uptake of recycling. For their incentivised Takeback Scheme with Makro for International E-waste Day in 2023 ERA collected 164 tons of e-waste over just 2 days. Their current campaign with Dell Technologies features Springboks rugby players with a message of sustainability.
