Section 18 of the new Waste Management Act came into effect on 5 May 2021. As a supporter of the circular economy, we have made great strides in many areas of our businesses towards closing the manufacturing loop ourselves. We welcome EPR schemes to ensure that more recycling does take place, and that less waste goes to South Africa’s landfill sites. It is our responsibility as a company that upholds its values and acts as a good corporate citizen to support proactive initiatives such as this, and to encourage compliance.
Mpact has been contributing to EPR by means of a voluntary levy, for several years and is an existing member of Packaging SA, Plastics SA, SAVA and Vinyl Loop, and the following Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs):
We look forward to participating with you in this process, furthering our investment in a circular economy and contributing to smarter, sustainable solutions.

The Group safety plan is set at the start of each year by our CEO and Group Risk Sustainability Manager. This is cascaded down into the operations where site management develops their own roll-out plan to implement the Safety Plan. We are routinely audited, and senior management is responsible for safety, health, environment and fire defense systems, and are assisted by line managers and safety committees at each operation who are accountable for the well-being of employees.
The CEO’s Safety, Health and Environmental (SHE) Philosophy states that all injuries, occupational illnesses, safety and environmental incidents, and fires are preventable and that the target for them is zero. To achieve this, a number of safety, health and environmental interventions are in place and these are regularly monitored and enforced.
The annual Excellence in Health and Safety Awards recognize excellent safety performance at the operations. Audited by a Legal Consulting Service who specialize in safety legal compliance, the best performing operation is awarded the prestigious Mongoose Safety Award.
Our lifecycle approach focuses on design requirements, filling line requirements, brand positioning, environmental considerations, supply chain requirements, costs, product preservation, shelf life and EPR parameters.
Our process includes digital sketching and editing that allows for real-time, onscreen industrial designs that enables us to meet deadlines whilst highlighting design features and benefits. By converting our digital sketches to 3D models we can offer photo-realistic renders and share product specifications such as stacking configurations, form, weight and volume validation and accurate pre-investment product visuals to fast track decision making and bringing a new product to life. In preparing for sampling, our technology allows us to assess the product performance in a real-world situation, such as top load limits, stress concentrations, vacuum pressure resistance and drop test simulations, thereby greatly mitigating risk. Samples for marketing purposes can be decorated in a variety of options such as sleeving, painted or labelled. Up to 200 product units can be prototyped for line trials by producing temporary moulds using our 3D printing capability, shorting your line trial product delivery timeline to only 2 weeks!
