Reducing Waste at the Source
We all know the feeling of wanting to hold onto our favorite things. At Thueia, we believe that applies to our planet too! That’s why we’re passionate about extending the life of the things we use.

By making these small changes, we can create a big impact. Less waste means less pollution from factories and landfills, and that helps keep our air clean and our planet healthy.

At Thueia, we believe good food shouldn’t go to waste. That’s why we are creating a network of minimarket (T-Express) outlets and Community Shops across the country. These stores will offer perfectly good food and other products at amazing discounts!

Smart Routes, Efficient Collection
We’re making great strides towards this goal! We will replace our existing diesel trucks with electric vehicles or those running on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) very soon. These aren’t just fancy new trucks – they represent a significant step towards cleaner air and a healthier planet.

But we’re not stopping there! Our goal is to completely eliminate diesel vehicles from our fleet by 2030. We’re constantly exploring new and innovative options to achieve this, and we’re already seeing results.

Thueia Lunaz electric refuse vehicle

We’re proud to boast Angola’s largest fleet of electric refuse collection vehicles (eRCVs) across both our Industrial & Commercial and Municipal divisions! These aren’t your average garbage trucks – they’re clean, quiet machines that are helping us reduce emissions and improve air quality for everyone.

We’re always looking for ways to make our collections more efficient and sustainable. In 2022-2023, we achieved a fantastic 7% increase in route efficiency by focusing on compaction technology and optimizing collection routes. This wasn’t just good for saving time, it was a big win for the environment!
