The South African (SA) Plastics Pact has made significant strides toward a circular economy for plastic packaging, according to its latest annual report. This demonstrates an ongoing commitment to transparency and collaboration,” said Roan Snyman, Circular Economy Analyst at GreenCape, the SA Plastics Pact secretariat. The SA Plastics Pact has set four key targets to drive sustainability in plastic packaging. The second target ensures that all Pact members’ plastic packaging entering the market is reusable, recyclable, or compostable. Pact members have progressed, with 24% recycled content now included in new packaging—an increase of 5% from the baseline report.
