Firstly, let me say that although we certainly need to take heed of
warnings from reliable economists, it is not all doom and gloom in the
South African plastics industry. Despite some of the plastics sub-
sectors experiencing a downturn in demand as they struggle to adjust
to increased imports and changes in the market for their products, key
opportunities still exist for growth.
For instance, the growing middle-class’ increased demand for
allapplicationsofplastic,therecentphase-outofimporttariffson
polymers and other inputs which will contribute to more competitive
input prices.
Last year we set ourselves the aspirational target of diverting plastics
fromthecountry’slandfillsites:Zero Plastics to Landfill by 2030.
According to the most recent recycling survey, plastic
divertedfromlandfillincreasedby12.8%from2013.
The plastics recycling industry is showing positive movement and due
to the increase in the use of waste plastic as an input material in the
conversion process, the demand for plastic waste locally has increased.
Thetotalplastictonnagerecycledin2014was20.3%ofallplastics
manufactured in 2014 which is something that the plastics recycling
industry can be proud of.
22%ofplasticswasdivertedfromlandfill
90.2%wasmechanicallyrecycled
9.8%wasexportedforrecyclingelsewhere
Government has requested Industry to submit their waste management
plans for the various sectors. We are hopeful that this is an indication
that Industry will be allowed to continue with current initiatives, without
too much interference from government.
Unemployment rates have reached a 12 year high in South Africa
according to Statistics SA’s report in June. The unemployment rate
increasedby26.4%fromthelastquarterof2014.
Thus the challenge remains that we become more innovative and
agile in creating opportunities that can contribute to long-term and
sustainable employment. The recycling industry has shown leadership
and entrepreneurship in this regard, employing more than
47 000 people in the informal sector.
Thank you to the team for your contribution to yet
another successful year, despite a myriad of challenges. We look
forward to great things ahead.

who contribute towards our activities by way of membership
fees. There are still raw material producers and importers
who are not subscribing to the fees and we would like to
encourage the industry to support the raw material producers

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude

[ p l a s t i c s ]The word plasticisderivedfromtheplastikosλλλλλλλλ(Greek)meaning“capable of being shaped or molded”, from plastos (Greek) meaning
“molded”. It refers to its malleability, or plasticity during manufacture, that allows it to be cast, pressed, or extruded into a variety of shapes—
suchasfilms,fibers,plates,tubes,bottles,boxes,andmuchmore.
