Thiam explained, “This is the result of four key pillars: committed leadership, compliance with industry standards, a trusted local partner engaged for the long term and finally, client confidence.”

Since 2014, the company has received 27,265 tons of waste, of which 20,952 tons were treated locally. Only 6,100 tons have been exported, supported by 26 international consents granted by authorities in the UK, France, Norway and Spain.

SEPCO outlined best practices increasingly adopted in the MSGBC region, including waste minimization, segregation at source, safe storage and the integration of circular-economy principles. Thiam stated, “At SEPCO, our mission is to achieve zero-landfill waste through advanced treatment technologies, full traceability and rigorous compliance with HSE and environmental standards.”

Established in Mauritania in 2011 and in Senegal in 2018, SEPCO operates across MSGBC countries with more than 180 employees and over $40 million invested to date. Its activities span logistics and supply, base services, oilfield services, waste management and marine operations–an integrated model that enables the company to support operators throughout the energy value chain.

Wilfred Johnson, Waste Manager, SEPCO Industries, noted, “We also pay attention to storage and handling when we carry out waste sorting.” “SEPCO positions itself as a trusted partner with a long-term commitment to reach zero waste”, added Johnson.
