METPAC-SA to team up with packaging streams to practice recycling in South Africa

EDITED BY : HEENA IQBAL 2MINS READ

MetPac-SA, the new industry body representing the interests of the local metal packaging industry, will team up with packaging streams in September to  encourage households to practice recycling in South Africa as part of Clean-up and Recycle SA week. Clean-up and Recycle SA Week will take place this year from 11 – 17 September 2017, according to the media release.

Delanie Bezuidenhout, CEO of MetPac-SA, said, “More than a third of all the aluminium currently produced globally originates from old, traded and new scrap. The high intrinsic value of metal scrap has always been the main impetus for recycling, independent of any legislative or political initiatives. In addition to this obvious economic dimension, growing environmental concerns and heightened social responsibility, have served to boost recycling activity in order to conserve resources and to avoid littering.”

MetPac-SA is a Product Recovery Organisation (PRO) that represents the aluminium packaging, steel and tin can industries in South Africa.

Delanie further added: “Our waste management partners such as WastePlan and The New Reclamation Group confirm that they also readily accept and recycle metal food cans and aluminum food packaging at their commercial sites, and that they have sorters on-site to separate the different recyclable commodities.”

“Our vision is that zero metal packaging should end up in the environment.  With the help of South Africans, we can achieve this target and help develop a strong, sustainable recycling industry,” Delanie concluded.
