Young Black African Project (Pty) Ltd T/A GreenZA is a South African environmental services company established in 2021 with a mission to deliver sustainable and innovative solutions in recycling, integrated waste management, and water treatment. The company was founded to address the growing challenges of waste pollution, resource recovery, and water security while creating meaningful economic opportunities for communities and young people.

Operating primarily within the Vhembe District and expanding across South Africa, GreenZA provides a comprehensive range of services that include waste collection, waste sorting and beneficiation, recycling, hazardous and non-hazardous waste management, environmental consulting, and water treatment solutions for industrial, municipal, commercial, and residential clients. The company combines practical field operations with scientific and technical expertise to develop cost-effective and environmentally responsible solutions.

GreenZA’s recycling division focuses on the recovery and processing of materials such as plastics, paper, cardboard, metals, glass, and electronic waste (e-waste). Through partnerships with schools, businesses, municipalities, and community waste collectors, the company promotes a circular economy by diverting valuable materials from landfill and returning them to productive use. The company has established collection networks and buy-back initiatives that support local livelihoods and encourage community participation in recycling.

In the waste management sector, GreenZA offers end-to-end waste handling services, including waste audits, segregation programs, collection and transportation, recycling coordination, landfill diversion strategies, and compliance support. The company is committed to improving environmental performance for its clients while ensuring compliance with South African environmental legislation and waste management standards.

GreenZA’s water treatment division provides sustainable solutions for water quality improvement, wastewater treatment, cooling water management, boiler water treatment, and industrial process water optimization. The company supports clients with water analysis, treatment program development, chemical dosing solutions, system monitoring, and technical advisory services aimed at reducing water consumption, improving operational efficiency, and protecting critical infrastructure.

A key pillar of GreenZA’s vision is social impact and youth empowerment. The company actively creates employment and skills development opportunities, particularly for young people and previously disadvantaged communities. Through environmental education campaigns, school recycling programs, and participation in national sustainability initiatives, GreenZA promotes environmental awareness and encourages responsible resource management.

Driven by the belief that waste is a resource and water is a strategic asset, GreenZA continues to invest in innovative technologies, community partnerships, and sustainable business practices that contribute to a cleaner environment, a greener economy, and a more resilient future for South Africa.
