Our Purpose

The Paper and Packaging PRO Alliance unites South Africa’s leading Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) in a shared commitment to transform the country’s recycling landscape.

Together, we focus on building sustainable infrastructure, driving innovative collection and recycling projects, and creating economies of scale that deliver meaningful impact.

Beyond infrastructure, we champion nationwide awareness campaigns, support waste picker integration, and strengthen partnerships with municipalities and industry stakeholders.

By combining expertise in Extended Producer Responsibility and waste management, we are contributing towards shaping a thriving circular economy.

This collaborative approach ensures we effectively drive South Africa’s transition to a circular economy while meeting regulatory requirements and creating sustainable impact
