How Rotocarb became a leading sustainable purification provider

FOUNDED in 2016, Rotocarb was established with the goal of servicing the carbon-based water purification needs of South Africa.

Today, Rotocarb stands as an innovative and pioneering enterprise, dedicated to producing sustainable and locally made activated carbons to meet not only South Africa’s, but the world’s purification needs.

Utilising macadamia nut shells, a by-product of the nut industry, this biomass is transformed into high-grade activated carbons through a clean, eco-friendly and energy efficient thermal manufacturing process.

Rotocarb’s novel technology operated under an exclusive license in conjunction with its strategic partners has created an agile, robust and competitive business that is able to offer premium grade activated carbons without the burden of MOQs, long lead times and duties suffered by imported alternatives.

Rotocarb’s operations span across three of the country’s provinces which collectively see to the production of over 1 500 tons of activated carbon annually across 20 product ranges. Rotocarb’s facilities harness solar power, harvest rainwater and employ innovative autogenous thermal processes in the manufacturing of its products.

Rotocarb’s efforts towards global sustainability are particularly aligned with the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) for SDG6 – Clean Water and Sanitation, SDG7 – Affordable and Clean Energy and SDG13 – Climate Action.

It is South Africa’s largest activated carbon manufacturer and is committed to growing the business locally and regionally whilst contributing to a sustainable future with its novel and high-quality activated carbon products.

Purpose

Rotorcarb’s purpose is to provide world class activated carbon products to the filtration, purification and food processing industries whilst contributing to the socio-economic development of South Africa in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner.
