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 pick-up programmes via schools, communities, 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 2019 we invested in an exciting upgrade to our Felixton Mill. The upgrade increased the mill’s capacity by 60,000 tonnes taking it to 215,000 tonnes. These upgrades also included modernisation of the mill with the latest in paper machine technology, improving the quality of product and overall operational efficiency. This significant investment further demonstrates our ongoing commitment to furthering the recycling industry for the benefit of the economy and environment. It represents another big step toward a circular economy and we’re excited to have this world class paper processing facility within the Mpact group.

    It’s Madiba Month. That’s why we’re dedicating July to honouring his legacy, and applying his insight and wisdom to our own mission of achieving a circular economy through recycling. 🇿🇦 Initially, the idea of consistently sorting waste, understanding recyclable materials, and committing to a sustainable lifestyle can appear daunting and overwhelming. However, as we engage with recycling programmes and see the tangible benefits – such as reduced waste, conservation of resources, and a cleaner environment – the process becomes second nature. At Mpact Recycling, we see, first-hand, how people overcome these barriers. The act of recycling transforms from a seemingly impossible task to a rewarding and impactful contribution to a sustainable, circular future. Give it a try and visit ➡️ https://bit.ly/4dlp66f to find your nearest Mpact Recycling branch. #MpactRecycling #MadibaMonth
