Welcome to Agreenco
What we do
Agreenco offers new generation mine rehabilitation and environmental improvement services to mines. We view our customer’s environmental liabilities as natural assets, and scientifically interconnect the mine’s environmental infrastructure to transform minescapes naturally in the interest and to the benefit of all stakeholders.
We have become renowned as the go-to specialists and practitioners when expert solutions for mine rehabilitation, tailings environmental challenges, dust control, waste water management, ecological improvement and final mine closure practices are sought after. Our specialised team crafts site–specific solutions through the full value chain of our discipline, from engineering design to implementation and maintenance of our solutions. As part of our partnership approach, we offer a one-stop shop for the environmental rehabilitation and improvement needs of our customers.
Furthermore, we are pioneering legacy end-land use projects for mines, packaging viable commercial enterprises on unproductive and impacted land in order to reactivate the full potential of our customers’ natural assets. Our offerings are acutely aligned with the industry’s transformation requirements thereby delivering on their social licence to operate.

As we understand the business case of our customers’ environmental risk management requirements, we develop and implement our projects accordingly. However, the specific outcomes are first and foremost defined by the needs of our customers.
