The Shift to Sustainable Industry in South Africa
Industrial companies in South Africa are facing increased pressure from both regulators and stakeholders to reduce their environmental impact. Whether through International Environmental Management Standard (ISO 14001) compliance, environmental, social, and governance targets initiatives, or internal sustainability goals, organisations across sectors are re-evaluating how they source and operate.
At Green Guard Industrial Solutions, we offer eco-friendly industrial solutions like non-toxic rust removers that eliminate the need for harsh acids.
But the shift to sustainability isn’t just about ticking boxes — it’s about choosing solution-driven partners who actively help reduce waste, labour, and environmental harm. That’s where Green Guard Industrial Solutions comes in.
Why Product-Only Suppliers Fall Short
Too many suppliers push chemicals and materials without offering real operational improvements. They provide products, not solutions — forcing customers to rely on outdated, labour-heavy methods like:
- Degreasers that require pre-cleaning and hard labour
- Sandpaper and grinding that wear down parts
- Hazardous acids that require protective safety equipment and neutralisation
These workarounds are costly, labour-intensive, and unsustainable.

- Eliminating harsh chemicals and acid runoff
- Supporting safe use in food, marine, mining, and manufacturing environments
Real-World Proof: The RNE Pumps Story
“Corrosion Assassin removed rust almost instantly, saving us hours of work!” – Zack Herridge, RNE Pumps
RNE Pumps implemented Corrosion Assassin across multiple operations:
- Pump shafts shipped to Miami remained rust-free after 8 weeks at sea
- New parts in storage stayed protected without recoating or rework
- Mining pump refurbishment required no scrubbing or acid dipping
This resulted in:
- Significant labour savings
- Reduced downtime
- Lower chemical and energy usage
Why It Matters for Sustainability and Compliance
Using Corrosion Assassin isn’t just about convenience — it directly supports:
- International Environmental Management Standard (ISO 14001) compliance (reducing environmental risk and chemical handling)
- Corporate environmental, social, and governance targets goals (lower emissions, safer materials)
- Sustainability tenders (you can say your corrosion control solution is eco-safe, food-grade, and low-impact)
Every drum of Corrosion Assassin saves hours of manual work, eliminates unnecessary materials, and lowers your industrial footprint.
