    Steenkamp, Ms J question
    (1)Is the Waste Bureau focusing on the mine site off-the-road (OTR) processing; if not, why is there a shredding machine located at the site of the Mogalakwena open-pit platinum mine; (2) is this to quickly boost the number of OTR tyres processed as reported to the Portfolio Committee on Environmental Affairs; if so, (a) what amount was generated at each site from waste tyres and the processing of OTR tyres, given that the Mogalakwena Implats minesite is a privately owned operation and (b) to whom is the processed OTR material from these two machines supplied?

  • Minister of Environmental Affairs answer

    1. The Waste Bureau intends to focus on mine site OTR pre-processing hence the purchase of shredding equipment. The shredding equipment at Mogalakwena mine was procured by the Recycling and Economic Development Initiative of South Africa (REDISA) and the Waste Bureau simply enabled continuation of the processing that began as a REDISA pilot project.

    2. The shredding equipment at Mogalakwena mine was already in place and it made sense to continue with the preprocessing.

    (a) 3 791 tons from Mogalakwena mine have been processed.

    (b) The OTR shred is currently being consumed by pyrolysis plants.
