Our integrated business model is uniquely focused on closing the loop in plastic and paper packaging through recycling and beneficiation of recyclables. Our close relationships with our customers, deep understanding of their industries and commitment to innovation help us create structural and graphic solutions, and value-added services that anticipate customers’ needs.

Mpact also continues to be South Africa’s largest collector of recyclable packaging, collecting over 700,000 tonnes of paper and plastic recyclables from pre- and post-consumer sources (2021: over 620,000 tonnes).
