South Africa’s Waste Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) Roadmap is a 10-year national strategy led by the Department of Science, Technology and Innovation (DSTI). Implemented in 2015, the roadmap set out to guide public- and private-sector investment in waste RD&I, strengthen related capacity and support the diversion of waste away from landfill towards reuse, recycling and recovery.
Join us for the Waste RDI Roadmap Closure Conference from the 3-5 March 2026. This virtual conference presents an opportunity to reflect on the outcomes and impact of the Waste Roadmap and on the fundamental role the DSTI has played in supporting South Africa’s waste sector through the investment in RD&I.
