One of the major bottle-necks in the recycling industry in South Africa, is access to high quality and quantity feedstock. At the 2022 PETCO awards, Safripol was recognised for the impact of its sustainability projects in advancing waste collection and recycling in the country.
Motivated by the African proverb “if you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together”, over the past year Safripol has partnered with various stakeholders in the value-chain including waste reclaimers, buy-back centres, PRO’s, NGO’s and local communities to unlock waste collection and advance recycling in the country.
Some of the initiatives implemented for the past year include:
Through the various interventions of this past year, and the commitment of all its partners, Safripol’s sustainability projects is gaining momentum, but more importantly it is creating ripples of change and bringing awareness to the value of plastics and the importance of recycling and proper waste management practices.
