Qualification
We review the safety data sheet (SDS) by doing an analysis for calorific value (CV), moisture, and heavy metal content to establish if we can accept the waste at our facility.
Why choose Averda for waste-to-fuel

Through our blending platform, we ensure all waste not suitable for landfill is diverted and converted into waste-derived fuel, in compliance with South African government regulations.
Beneficial co-processing of waste
Your waste is processed and used as waste-derived fuel, diverting it from landfill and harmful environmental impact and driving a more circular economy.
End-to-end traceability
We provide you with a safe destruction certificate for your records and assurance of the handling and management of your waste disposal. The certificate not only demonstrates that disposal was done legally and in compliance with legislation, it also details the carbon saving turning your waste into fuel has contributed to.
How does it work?
Acceptance, quoting, and logistics
Once we have established if we can accept your waste, we develop a disposal solution suitable to your needs, provide you with a quote, and make logistical arrangements with you for the disposal process.
Waste transportation
Our certified Averda vehicle and expertly trained staff arrive at your point of generation to transport your waste to Vlakfontein for processing.
Check-in process
On arrival, our vehicle will go across a weigh-bridge where we will double check all documentation and retrieve a further sample of the waste to ensure that it is in fact the waste that we expected.
Blending platform
Your waste is offloaded in batches into our various mixing tanks where it is processed into a waste-derived fuel using our waste-to-fuel technology, along with other waste generation that compliments your waste.
Waste-derived fuel usage
Once the waste-to-fuel process is complete, the waste-derived fuel is delivered to licensed thermal processes companies, such as cement factories, for usage as a substitute for dirty coal.
