Our SNAPSEP™ pilot plant is located in Mossel Bay, South Africa, where Rooikat Recycling has been testing and refining this technology. We plan to expand this approach to larger facilities, making a significant impact on waste reduction nationwide.
Our facilities create jobs, reduce landfill use, and produce locally sourced fuel and fertilizers. By turning waste into valuable products, we help local communities achieve cleaner environments and support sustainable economic growth.
SNAPSEP™ is designed for real-world waste, including contaminated and mixed waste. While typical recycling requires clean plastic, SNAPSEP™ processes unclean waste through chemical methods, transforming it into fuel in a single step. This capability allows us to tackle South Africa’s growing waste problem with maximum efficiency.
Separation (SEP): Waste enters the process and is separated into recyclable and convertible streams. Metals, glass, and other recyclables are extracted for conventional recycling.
Conversion (SNAP): The remaining waste—primarily plastics, food scraps, and paper—is broken down through thermal cracking. This process uses heat to create smaller, valuable molecules, producing fuel products like diesel and gasoline or fertilizer.
We use our SNAPSEP™ technology, a patented system that separates waste into recyclable and non-recyclable components. Non-recyclable waste undergoes thermal cracking, where it is broken down into smaller molecules, such as diesel and gasoline, making it a practical and eco-friendly fuel.
