Through its proactive approach and unwavering dedication, OSS continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of waste management in South Africa.
The Waste Management Act
The introduction of The Waste Act 59 of 2008 has reformed the laws regulating waste management in South Africa and provided the legislative framework around which the National Waste Management Strategy has been constructed. This is one of the cornerstone principles of how OSS conducts its daily business.
OSS believes that the development of products that, not only comply with Global Standards but surpass them, are of paramount importance for a cleaner South African Environment and a reduction in Global temperature rise for the prevention of climate change.
Green Engineering
The use of “Green Chemistry” and Green Engineering processes enables OSS to produce world class products and services that are renewable and sustainable. Our in-house process technologies are ground breaking, both in concept and design and are based on creating a circular economy rather than the linear route of disposal. This allows diversification into areas that are synergistic with the core competence of the company.
