OUR ECO fOOTPRINT

At KwikBuild Cement, sustainability isn’t a side project — it’s built into everything we do. From reducing carbon emissions in our manufacturing process to sourcing responsibly and optimizing packaging, we’re committed to building a better South Africa with a smaller environmental footprint.

Restoring
Indigenous Trees

in disadvantaged areas

We believe that sustainability should extend beyond our products and into the communities we serve. As part of our long-term commitment to environmental responsibility, KwikBuild Cement actively supports the restoration of indigenous trees in under-resourced areas.

Through partnerships with local organisations, we help bring life back to urban and rural landscapes—boosting biodiversity, improving air quality, and creating greener spaces for future generations. This is one of the many ways we’re working to leave a lasting, positive impact on both people and the planet.

Earth Day

From humble beginnings in Wisconsin U.S.A 1970 to the 1 billion strong spanning across 193 Countries around the globe.

Earth day is a symbol of our unity in our pursuit of a cleaner, greener earth, for now and years to come.

On the 25th of April 2023, Kwikbuild & Kwiktile planted 20 Cheese Wood (Pittosporum viridiflorum) trees at our plant in Silverton Pretoria in celebration of Earth Day 2023.

Our staff were full of enthusiasm and delighted that we as a company and individuals were playing a significant part in creating a greener earth and being a part of a global community that strives to make a difference. 

Earth Day 2023 was a major milestone in our ongoing journey towards a greener future. We firmly believe that every small action can have a significant impact, and we remain devoted to our vision of creating a more sustainable world, one tree and one person at a time.

Restoring Dignity Through Safer Sanitation

We aim to install modern, safe, and hygienic toilet facilities made from durable recycled materials. These toilets not only provide dignity and safety but also utilise innovative waste management technology, converting waste into useful resources like soil conditioner or fuel briquettes.

Our First Toilets Are Up — And Changing Lives

KwikBuild Cement has launched an initiative to replace unsafe pit latrines with clean, durable toilet facilities made from recycled and sustainable materials. These facilities not only provide privacy, dignity, and protection—especially for school children—but also incorporate waste management systems that convert human waste into eco-friendly by-products like soil enhancers and bio-briquettes.
