Our Mission

To be the ethical waste management company who drives the world closer to zero waste to landfill through innovation and turning waste into value.

Our values

At the core of our business we are: Ethical & Innovative

Our culture of customer-centricity and operational excellence enables us to find new, innovative ways to minimise waste while maximising productivity, profitability, and performance. And we do so while ensuring a high standard of ethics.

What is Re-Ethical?

When we first started in 1987, our brand was called AT Metal Trading. As time went on we built our brand on our passion to create a truly ethical waste management company and the three re’s:

Recycle • Renew • Reuse

So in 2003, we rebranded as Re-Ethical Environmental Re-engineering as we knew that the “re” was the future of waste management and this brand drove us to be even more innovative in our journey to reducing landfills.

We rebranded to SmartMatta in 2016, but the Re-Ethical values were still core to our business, now we have added the drive for sustainability too.

Who is WastePlan?

In 2020, SmartMatta became a part of the WastePlan ecosystem. WastePlan is a waste management and recycling company whose mission has always been to get to zero waste to landfill, which aligns strongly with our goals and values.

We believe the partnership between WastePlan and SmartMatta is going to bring companies across South Africa even closer to zero waste and together we can offer you specialised services and help your business help change the world… for the better.
