Our market.

Our current source of collection is the illegal dumping sites around Orange Farm township , and municipalities household Trashcan and local spaza shops. Our current customers Morolo Recycling , Retumetse Woman Project Sidingulwazi Holdings Investments, and Orange Farm metals. Which are local well established buyback centre’s within a radius of 5 km.

However my salesmanship has enabled me to secure a supplier agreement contract to supply all these types of recyclables except metals at a much higher scale than I can currently produce. The contract binding Recycling The Future pty Ltd and ChescanCC requires me to deliver 45 tons of sorted baled materials every month for 5 years , starting from 20 March 2026 to 20 Mar 2031. And this project has not started yet because of lack of funding . And our target suppliers for recyclables is hospitals, hotels, warehouses , retailers in shopping centres, construction sites and schools all around Gauteng province which will make us able to meet the required amount of recyclables required by Chescan CC

Further more we have established a number of target customers which is PC Waste, Extrupet, The Glass recycling company  ARO ,  Mpact recycling , and Lithlorein which are large recycling companies in South Africa.

I have established buyer relationships with local buy-back centres in and around the Orange Farm area they are Morolo Recycling , Retumetse Woman Project, & Sidingulwazi Holdings Investments , where I regularly sell sorted recyclable materials. I do not operate from a fixed, dedicated collection or processing site; instead, I operate as a mobile collector. I actively harvest recyclable waste directly from the source, including local spaza shops, schools, households, and public areas/illegal dumping sites, before transporting and selling the materials to the buy-back centres. And the relationship with these buyback centre’s was established in 3 years since I started this work until today . And im intending to turn them into my suppliers aswell.  Further more I have established  relationships with a customer ChescanCC which recently gave me a supplier agreement contract this contract binds our relationship for 5 years stating from 2026 to 2031 and I’ve known ChescanCC or Cheslyn Dunlop (CEO) for 2 years now.

Geographic Reach

My current place of operation is Orange Farm Johannesburg South Gauteng Province South Africa. And we are intending to expand beyond neighbouring provinces in 6 to 7 years.

We intend to grow the business by securing new leads and increasing our customers base and as well as strengthening our suppliers or recyclables , trough salesmanship, strategic partnerships and customer satisfaction. We also want to divert 200 tons of waste from landfills per month in Gauteng and neighbouring provinces such as Free State, KZN, Mpumalanga, Limpopo and North West in 7 years and that is far as the collection is concerned. Over and above from year 8 we are intending to expand our company by building 3 larger workshops in 3 provinces Gauteng, KZN, And Western Cape. These facilities are a storage facilities and they will be having recyclables washing lines, enabling us to process recyclables to the stage of smashed and fully hot washed recyclable flakes , Enabling us to sell recyclables including different forms of recycling stages.

In year 10 of operations of this business we intend to export our services to neighbouring countries and establish operations in SADEC region.

Innovation

Recycling The Future pty Ltd’s approach to minimizing waste going into landfills is slightly different from other companies or competitors. We help stores and warehouses to clear their floor space by being on site and helping them remove waste from the floor as it is produced. We are intending to place a team member in each of our suppliers site to enable this operation to be more successful and the service provided to our suppliers of clearing the floor space will be not charged instead we will keep the waste that we collect from them . And our innovative strategy also includes reporting exactly to our customers the amount of waste recovery from their sites and diverted from landfills, this enable them to excel in waste management oddities.  Other innovation approach we have is that we will be strictly using online methods of payments including for our informal waste pickers as well, this way we will have a system that will help informal waste pickers get registered and be recognized because for the province to reach 100% free waste its waste pickers must be fully acknowledged and recognized through incentives for hard work that they are doing
