Plastics Recycling Collection Services in South Africa

Recycling Collection Services play an important role in South Africa’s plastics waste recovery network. These businesses and cooperatives handle the collection, logistics, and sorting of both post-consumer and industrial plastic waste to ensure it re-enters the recycling stream. Many operate independently, while others collaborate closely with Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) to improve national recovery rates. By supporting Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) initiatives, these service providers help maintain efficient waste management systems and promote sustainable plastics use across South Africa.
