EnviroServ Calls On Stakeholders To Rally Behind ISWA
Forward-thinking professionals in the waste management sector will gather in Cape Town from September 15 to 18, 2024, for the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) World Congress Conference.
As a platinum sponsor of this prestigious event, EnviroServ—an influential player in the industry and a patron member of the Institute of Waste Management of Southern Africa (IWMSA), as well as a platinum member of the French South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FSACCI)—is excited to contribute to this global dialogue.
The company is one of only two platinum sponsors and the sole South African company in this role, as it recognises that finding solutions for a sustainable future starts with meaningful dialogue.
Four of EnviroServ’s experts—Esme Gombault, Makgabo van Niekerk, Nico Vermeulen, and Mahmood Patel—will be sharing their insights on a range of topics designed to advance the waste and wastewater management sectors.
The conference aims to transition Africa from waste to wealth by fostering sustainable solutions for the future.
