KEETMANSHOOP, 15 AUG – The Department of Environment and Nature Conservation in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa wants to engage the //Kharas Regional Council in setting up waste recycling projects.
Director of Environmental and Quality Management in that department, Bryan Fisher made a proposal to the //Kharas Regional Council in that regard at a Regional Development Coordination Committee meeting (RDCC) on Tuesday.
He explained that waste recycling is a possible economic instrument to create jobs and to ensure a clean and healthy environment in which communities can live and create a better future for themselves.
Fisher said the two parties should thus undertake a waste audit to determine if the project would be feasible and economically sustainable.
“The analysis of the waste streams will then guide us as to what the recycling potential is and if it would be economically sustainable so as to consider implementation of such a project. This also would be to identify the waste streams and volumes produce,” he added.
The waste streams, he suggested could include mining waste, waste generated from renewable energy facilities, paper, glass, cans, plastics, electronic waste and organic waste among others.
Fisher continued that the two counterparts should also consider the importation of waste from other regions to bolster waste volumes in order to make the project economically viable.
The objectives of the projects are to reduce the amount of waste generated that usually ends up on the landfill, while educating communities and exposing them to recycling programmes to see the benefit of recycling and start recycling at home.
This will further create the opportunity for youth with a passion for recycling to venture into entrepreneurial partnerships with the Namibian government or even the private sector.
RDCC meetings bring the //Kharas Regional Council and the Northern Cape Provincial Government of the Republic of South Africa together to update possible stakeholders on developmental affairs between the two counterparts.
This is part of a twinning agreement signed between the two areas on 14 September 1999, to look at economic development opportunities, safety and security and improve education and culture tolerance.
