Recently there has been increased focus on air pollution – specifically carbon emissions. This comes with the recent implementation of the Carbon Tax Bill in South Africa, which came into effect on 01 June 2019.

FMSA welcomes discussions around carbon tax as our organisational vision is to support the promotion of a clean and healthy environment. The waste sector is a significant carbon contributor and therefore it is important that we provide guidance on how to offset this, at a corporate and consumer level.

As a business owner the new Carbon Tax Bill will have a phased influence with a slow tax increase for carbon emitting activities over two phases.

The phased implementation takes into account South Africa’s commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions according to the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement is an agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, dealing with greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, adaptation, and finance, signed in 2016. The first phase will be from 01 June 2019 to 31 December 2022, and the second phase from 2023 to 2030.

The phased introduction of the carbon tax will provide business owners with the opportunity to plan ahead and to adopt new business models and innovative technology that will aid carbon reduction. The next decade will see a rapid move toward a low carbon, green economy – something that South Africa has needed for a while.

As a consumer, you can play your part as well. The best place to start is by calculating your carbon footprint. This will give you a good idea of which parts of your lifestyle you need to be more conscious about. Calculate your carbon footprint by using an online tool, such as this useful carbon calculator powered by Carbon Footprint.
