"Reaching out for Quality Service to make an IMPACT"

Green & Renewable Energy

Impact Group wholly supports The Paris Agreement which is a legally binding international treaty to all Nations adopted in 2015 to combat climate change by limiting global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels.

Impact Group also recognises the previous agreements which committed industrialised countries and economies in transition to limit and reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in accordance with agreed individual targets and to also adopt policies and measures to mitigate climate change. The Kyoto Protocol adopted on the 11 December 1997, and the Doha Amendments held in Doha, Qatar on the 08 December 2012 also deserves reference. We support all the extended versions of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which came into force in 1994.

Impact Group supports all conferences, agreements and protocols by every individual, by every company and every nation to mitigate climate change. Therefore, Impact Group in collaboration with its Technical Partners in China, Germany and the UK have sought to commit and venture into Green Technology and implement Renewable Energy Projects.

Between 2014 and 2021 Impact Group had two successive 3-year terms to operate the landfill site in one of the biggest Municipalities comprising of four Cities in the Northwest Province of South Africa (Matlosana Municipality). The aim was to introduce a “Sorting at Source Waste Management System”. We would like to teach the following value to the residents of Matlosana and beyond the principles of:

“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.”

These three principles are aimed at helping residents reduce waste, reuse items where possible, and recycle materials to protect the environment effectively. Three major contributing factors to climate change.

In order to Achieve this objective and contribute to Polokwane Declaration, Impact Group mobilised youth in the community and established a Cooperative which was registered in the name Mocha Iketsetse (translated into ‘’Youth do it Yourself’’). This was a motivation to the community youth to take an initiative to encourage recycling in the community. Together with the Youth, Impact Group started a Recycling Centre inside the Matlosana Landfill Site at the same time operating Management of the Site. Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality supported us by:

building a Recycling Centre inside the landfill site.
bought a bailing machine imported from the USA
building a weigh bridge inside the landfill site.

To further support the Polokwane declaration, Impact Group wrote a document to take forward the initiative. Click Here https://impact-group-solutions.com/pdf/Mocha%20Iketsetse%20Landfill%20Management.pdf to download this document.

During September 2001 a national waste summit was held at Polokwane, in the Limpopo Province. It was attended by all stakeholder groupings in the waste field in order to jointly chart a way forward in terms of waste management. The resultant Polokwane Declaration included a vision and goal for the management of all waste, i.e. domestic, commercial and industrial:

The goal of the Polokwane Declaration was:
