South Africa's biggest retailers and brands move towards environmentally friendly and sustainable packaging

As environmental awareness increases, both globally and locally, the amount of waste generated in South Africa is attracting more concern.

The World Wildlife Fund South Africa’s plastics report (Plastics: Facts and Futures), published in November 2020, showed that out of the major municipalities, only eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal and the City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality in Gauteng have significant landfill space left.

South Africa’s amended Plastic Bag Regulations and the new Extended Producer Responsibility Regulations raise concerns about double taxation in the plastic bag sector
In the past, retailers provided plastic carrier bags to consumers for free and incorporated the cost into the price of goods.
