Mpact

Mpact is the largest paper and plastics packaging and recycling business in southern Africa, employing 5,095 people and generated revenue of R12.8bn in the 2023 financial year. Our footprint: The Group operates across 43 sites, comprising 24 manufacturing sites, and 15 recycling operations. Proximity to our customers contributes to faster response times, reduces transport costs, and creates economies of scale. Our integrated business model is uniquely focused on closing the loop in plastic and paper packaging through recycling and the beneficiation of recyclables. Our strong customer relationships, the thorough understanding of the industries they operate in, and our commitment to innovation allow us to continue creating fit-for-purpose sustainable packaging solutions as well as value-added services that anticipate our customers’ needs. Mpact remains South Africa’s largest collector of recyclable packaging, having collected 594 million/kg of recyclables (paper, glass, beverage cans, plastic, and liquid board packaging) from pre- and post-consumer streams in 2023. By closing the loop on paper and plastic, we not only reduce the amount of material going to landfill, but also promote the local beneficiation of raw materials and support the development of SMMEs.
