PLEASE NOTE – BE WARNED

It has come to our attention that there was a course run by Knowledge Academy whose venue has not been booked, the presenter has not been confirmed, and potential attendees have not been able to make contact with the organisers.

In the light of this, we strongly suggest that before booking and paying for any conferences and seminars, you verify the credibility of these courses, by contacting the organisers, the presenters, and the course venues to confirm that the courses will actually be held. DO NOT make any payments until you have confirmed the legitimacy of the course.

We have stressed this previously as we have noted that there are many event organisers who are setting out to deliberately defraud potential delegates.

The Landfill and Waste Treatment 2025 Conference & Exhibition will be held at the The Riverside Hotel, Durban.

The theme of the conference is a play on the word “landfill” to indicate that many landfill sites are nearing capacity, or are filling up faster than planned. Hence there is a need to deliberate on the need for landfill sites in the future, and look to waste treatment technologies as alternatives or adjuncts to waste disposal by landfill.

WHY PARTICIPATE
Landfill and Waste Treatment 2025 is a premier event for those involved with waste disposal by landfill, as well as waste treatment technologies. The event will provide delegates with the opportunity to learn about the latest techniques and developments, while providing a forum for the exchange of knowledge and ideas.

This conference will attract decision makers from government and the private sector, prospective users, academics, vendors and suppliers, policy makers and representatives of various national organisations working in the arena of Landfill and Alternative Waste Treatment.

The Landfill and Waste Treatment Interest Group (LaWTIG) of the IWMSA KwaZulu-Natal Branch is excited to announce Mr Richard Emery as the keynote speaker for the Landfill and Waste Treatment 2025 Conference and Exhibition,

Richard Emery is a Civil Engineering Technologist and Technical Director at JG Afrika, with over 27 years of experience in the fields of integrated solid waste management, municipal infrastructure, and civil engineering. He has been instrumental in conceptualising, designing, and managing a wide range of landfill developments, waste diversion initiatives, and waste-to-energy projects across Southern Africa and beyond. Richard’s work is grounded in practical, appropriate, and cost-effective solutions that support environmental sustainability and job creation.

South Africa Environmental Laws and Compliance online executive program, available from 25 – 26 August 2025 via Zoom.

South Africa’s environmental laws are among the world’s most complex, with over 100 national regulations governing compliance. Additionally, the responsibility is divided across national, provincial, and local authorities, often leading to conflicting interpretations and enforcement. This fragmented system makes compliance challenging for environmental leaders navigating the regulatory landscape.
this program will equip you with the knowledge and expertise to navigate South Africa’s evolving environmental laws and attain an industry-recognized certification.

Offered only once every two years, this certified program will provide you with in-depth knowledge in South Africa’s key environmental laws, compliance requirements, and enforcement mechanisms. Upon completion, you will earn the Certification in South Africa Environmental Laws and Compliance, demonstrating your expertise in navigating complex environmental compliance, governance, and regulatory risk management.

This certified program will provide an in-depth exploration of South Africa’s environmental regulatory framework, equipping you with the knowledge to navigate and comply with key legislation. You will gain expertise in critical laws such as the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA), Air Quality Act, Water Act, Waste Act, Biodiversity Act, Climate Change Act, and Carbon Tax Act. Additionally, this program will show you how to develop and implement environmental policies, conduct compliance audits, manage environmental risks, and align your business with South Africa’s legislative mandates.

Throughout the program, you will learn how to conduct Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), obtain necessary authorizations and create effective environmental compliance management systems. You will also gain a practical understanding of environmental licensing procedures, liability frameworks, and enforcement mechanisms to strengthen your ability to navigate environmental law effectively. With a solid understanding of South Africa’s environmental laws and regulations, you can integrate the best practices into your organization’s environmental management strategy, ensuring legal compliance and sustainability.
