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.

[ 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.
