		<description><![CDATA[On this week’s Ecoskoops, host Isabel Potgieter unpacks how working with nature can help fix some of South Africa’s toughest environmental challenges. She starts with worrying news from the 2025 Green Drop Report, which shows that nearly half of the country’s wastewater treatment systems are now rated in critical condition. Germany has announced a new 200 million euro concessional climate loan and over 270 million euros in additional support for green hydrogen and battery value chains, aimed at strengthening South Africa’s power grid and clean energy industries. And she continues her conversation with ecologist Alison Hepplestone from EcoSolutions, a South African company specialising in poison-free, environmentally friendly pest control. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On this episode of Ecoskoops, we turn our attention to water. We continue our conversation with Gerhard Cronje, CEO of Maskam Water, about how their cutting‑edge wastewater treatment systems can sharply reduce pollution and create sustainable alternative-water options for households, farms, and whole communities. From decentralised treatment to using water again on site, we look at how smart engineering can transform wastewater from a liability into a valuable resource. ]]></description>

I’m joined by Gerhard Cronje, CEO of Maskam Water, to unpack how their innovative wastewater treatment systems can drastically cut water pollution and open up sustainable alternative-water pathways for homes, farms, and communities. From decentralised treatment to on‑site reuse, we’ll explore how smart engineering can turn wastewater into a resource instead of a risk. ]]></description>
