As the leading waste collector in South Africa, Mpact Recycling, part of the Mpact Group collects and receives approximately 600,000 tonnes of recyclables per annum. This includes recovered paper, cardboard, plastic, glass and cans.
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. Other collected materials are sold to other recycling industry partners for processing into products and packaging.
We have 14 of our own operations in major centres nationwide and have partnered with over 40 buy-back centres who supply 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 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 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.
