About w2e
We are passionate waste technologists taking an entrepreneurial approach to clean energy. Waste2Energy Solutions (Pty) Ltd was founded by Ayanda Mtelana. Mtelana developed a passion for waste to energy opportunities when working as an engineer for the East London Municipality, in the Eastern Cape in South Africa.
He launched a number of successful recycling schemes for his municipality and since then the Waste2Energy team hasn’t stopped investigating and developing technologies to source, transport and anaerobically digest waste products.
