About Us

WHO WE ARE

We are an industrial and agricultural waste stream treatment specialist solving the burden of waste and wastewater treatment and discharge for large industrial businesses.

We deliver integrated, onsite solutions that treat waste streams and convert them into valuable resources, including energy, reusable water, and organic fertilisers all the while reducing carbon emissions. Our systems are designed for demanding operating environments and combine engineering precision with biological processes to reduce cost and risk, ensuring reliable compliance, and create long-term value for our clients.

OUR VISION

A world where every drop of industrial waste and wastewater is managed sustainably and commercially.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY

Everything we do is centred around resource recovery, sustainability and long term impact.

Sustainability is embedded into every project we deliver. We believe industrial infrastructure should not only solve today’s operational challenges, but also help businesses become more resilient, resource efficient and prepared for a future of increasing environmental and regulatory demands.

OUR ORIGIN STORY

Green Create was founded in Southern Africa in 2013 with a focus on solving complex industrial wastewater challenges through long-term infrastructure solutions. From the beginning, we approached wastewater differently. Not simply as a problem to manage, but as a resource with the potential to create energy, recover value and strengthen industrial resilience. Today, we operate as Green Create Africa to focus specifically on the continent’s industrial wastewater, water scarcity and resource recovery challenges.

Built on more than a decade of operational experience and supported by Norfund and Infra Impact Investment Managers, we combine international technical expertise, long-term infrastructure capital and a deep understanding of African industrial operating environments. We believe the future of industrial sustainability lies in infrastructure that works in the real world. Infrastructure that reduces waste, recovers value and helps industry operate more sustainably over the long term.
