Great strides being made in the co-development of a South African Plastics Pact

The South African Plastics Pact has evolved since it was unveiled at the Design for Recycling event at Propak and the GreenCape & Sustainable Retailers Forum Circular Economy event in March this year. During this scoping and engagement phase driven by WWF, we have had an overwhelmingly positive response with 6 retailers, 4 brand owners, industry bodies and PROs confirmed as founding members to take this industry led initiative forward. The first meeting of the founding members will be held on 14 June 2019 to consider proposed targets; organizational structure, steerco & governance; budget and fee model and the Roadmap development and next steps. To be a part of the initiative or find out more, please contact Lorren de Kock at ldekock@wwf.org.za or Lisa Parkes at lisa@plasticrecyclingsa.co.za
