As the leading recycler in South Africa, we collect approximately 700,000 tonnes of recovered recyclables per annum.
All recovered paper material is supplied to our Mpact paper mills to be manufactured back into paper. This is then used to manufacture innovative board products, which are sold to the South African packaging industry. Collected PET materials are sold to other recycling industry partners for processing, to be made into new PET bottles.
We have 15 of our own operations in major centres nationwide and have partnered with over 40 buy-back centres who deliver their waste paper and plastic to us for remuneration; as well as working with numerous suppliers countrywide. Thus giving us a national footprint. Our recycling footprint doesn't end there, we have also acquired Remade in 2016.
We run numerous pick-up programmes via schools, communities, and offices - not only do these initiatives raise recycling awareness and create income opportunities but to also push recycling levels to new heights.
It’s part of our mission to develop practical, economically viable and environmentally sustainable solutions that bring us, and the world, closer to a true circular economy.
For over 50 years, we’ve focused on sustainability through active job creation, economic value and environmental responsibility. Most people are aware of the environmental benefits of recycling, but few consider the positive effect on the economy.
Aside from 15 of its own operations in major centres around South Africa, Mpact Recycling has over 40 buy-back centres where traders deliver waste paper and plastic for payment. With income opportunities for around 60 000 – 90 000 people in South Africa, many of whom are entrepreneurs and small business owners that rely on sustained volumes of recycled material to earn a living, the recycling industry has a significant role to play in the South African economy.
By recycling, we prevent valuable raw material going to landfill and ensure that it goes back into the manufacturing cycle for processing into new packaging.
Every item that is recycled is one less item going to the country’s strained landfill sites. Less waste to landfill means a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately less of a negative impact on the environment.
Recycling is the process of reusing discarded materials which can be made into new products.
Newspapers can be made into egg boxes. Old cardboard boxes can remade into new ones. White office paper can be made into toilet paper. By recycling, we prevent valuable raw material going to landfill, and ensure that it goes back to air paper mills for processing into new packaging.
Mpact Recycling is a part of the Mpact group, which demerged from the Mondi Group and listed separately on the JSE in July 2012.
Continuing and improving upon Mondi Recycling’s paper pickup initiatives, Mpact Recycling is now recognized as the country’s leading paper recycler and works tirelessly with schools, communities, offices and households to heighten awareness and push recycling levels to new highs.
