Boxing Day is all about the 📦 boxes – but let’s ensure they don’t end up as waste! 🌍 Trash doesn't take a holiday so neither should our recycling efforts. ♻️ This festive season, recycle your cardboard boxes responsibly and keep the cycle going.

Mpact Recycling is the collection arm of Mpact that drives the circular economy.
About us
As the leading waste collector in South Africa, Mpact Recycling, part of the Mpact Group collects and receives approximately 600,000 tonnes of recyclables per annum. This includes recovered paper, cardboard, plastic, glass and cans. All recovered paper material is supplied to our Mpact paper mills to be manufactured back into paper. This is then used to manufacture innovative board products, which are sold to the South African packaging industry. Other collected materials are sold to other recycling industry partners for processing into products and packaging. We have 14 of our own operations in major centres nationwide and have partnered with over 40 buy-back centres who supply their waste paper and plastic to us for remuneration; as well as working with numerous suppliers countrywide. Thus giving us a national footprint. Our recycling footprint doesn't end there, we also acquired Remade in 2016. We run numerous collection programmes via residential estates and offices - not only do these initiatives raise recycling awareness and create income opportunities but push recycling levels to new heights. It’s part of our mission to develop practical, economically viable and environmentally sustainable solutions that bring us, and the world, closer to a true circular economy.

In South Africa, waste levels tend to spike by around 30% approaching the New Year. It's a stark reminder there are No Days Off for recyclers 🚮. That's why we have to be mindful of the reality of our waste management situation 🌍. Because South Africa's landfill crisis won't conveniently and quietly adjourn for the summer ☀️. It will persist, and worsen, with every usable material that goes unrecycled ♻️. So, while you daydream about your deserved upcoming break 🏖️, remind yourself that there are No Days Off as far as recycling is concerned 🚫♻️. Luckily, we've got some tips to help you stay sustainable over the festive period 🎄✨. 🌟 From mindful meal prep 🍽️ to creative gift-wrapping 🎁 to recycling ♻️ and community clean-ups 🧹, this blog article covers how you can recline AND recycle during your time off. Have a wonderful, waste-free festive season! 🎉✨ Read the blog here: https://brnw.ch/21wPwHI #MpactRecycling #FestiveSeason #Recycle #Sustainability #TrashDoesntTakeAHoliday #NoDaysOff

We were honoured to welcome GIBS Business School (Gordon Institute of Business Science) and SOUL learners to our Randburg branch, marking a significant step in nurturing the next generation of eco-entrepreneurs. It's partnerships like these that empower and inspire real change.
This past weekend marked a special milestone as GIBS Business School (Gordon Institute of Business Science) joined forces with @SOUL and Mpact Limited to ignite a brighter future for the youth of Etsoseng township. Together, we launched technical training for aspiring eco-entrepreneurs—empowering them to become tomorrow’s recyclers, job creators, and champions of micro eco-businesses. Through the GIBS Sustainability, Impact & Circular Economy (SICE) initiative, we remain committed to uplifting young women and men from disadvantaged communities. By partnering with business, government, and scientific stakeholders, we aim to nurture sustainable enterprises that not only transform lives but also safeguard our planet for generations to come. This journey is about more than just opportunity; it’s about hope, collaboration, and creating a cleaner, greener world—one step at a time. Thank you, Neissan A. Besharati, PhD, for championing this initiative. #PRME #GreenFuture #ClimateAction #CircularEconomy #SDG
