WHY EPR MATTERS?
The South African EPR legislation is helping to transform waste into a valuable resource. The contribution of EPR fees support the collection, recovery, and recycling of post consumer packaging, creating both environmental and economic benefits.
BE PART OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Stakeholders in the packaging industry have a role to play. By supporting PRO initiatives, prioritising recyclable packaging and promoting responsible disposal, we can increase collection volumes, create value for waste pickers and buy-back centres, and ensure that valuable material remains in circulation.
COMPLIANCE IS THE STARTING POINT
CIRCULARITY IS THE DESTINATION
- The more we collect
- The more we recycle
- The closer towards a truly circular economy
- The closer to a cleaner, more sustainable South Africa!
