Live to Pump Again

The document details a partnership where Siyavana Solutions refurbishes end-of-life fuel pumps from Shell service stations to be resold back to Shell. This industrial symbiosis project diverted 16 tonnes of waste from landfills, including pumps, hoses, and computer boards, while generating up to R5 million in additional revenue and creating 9 permanent jobs.

• The collaboration between WISP, Siyavana Solutions, and Shell diverted 16 tonnes of waste from landfills, consisting of 10 tons of pumps, 5 tons of hoses, and 1 ton of computer boards.
• The upcycling project generated between R4 million and R5 million in additional annual revenue through the sale of remanufactured fuel pumps and provided Shell with a 30% cost saving per pump.
• Over a four-year period, Siyavana Solutions collected 429 fuel pumps, creating a 'closed loop' by refurbishing and reselling them to Shell at a discounted rate.
• The project resulted in the creation of 9 permanent jobs shared between Siyavana Solutions and farmers who utilize the diverted rubber hoses for irrigation.
