About Us
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 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 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.
