Polyco invests in the project divisions; Large lnfrastructure Projects, Packa-Ching® and Enterprise Development Projects. We aim to grow the collection and recycling of plastic packaging in South Africa to the extent that it meets the legislated targets.

Our EPR service fee goes toward the compensation for waste collectors, as outlined in Section 5A(1) (p) of the Regulations. As an extension we also support women in waste in collaboration with the Western Cape Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning (DEA&DP) on its “Give Dignity” campaign.

Our various project investments are located across South Africa, with our flagship project in Buffalo City, we positively impact various municipalities in these areas, with many developments underway to collaborate even more directly with municipalities throughout South Africa with municipal engagement and training.

Polyco treats education and awareness as one of our core pillars in growing the plastic recycling industry in South Africa, this is evident with Polyco having reached over 2500 schools and engaged over 2.5 million learners and over 140 000 educators as it continues to focus on both the industry and the South African consumer.

We have a dedicated Stakeholder Engagement Team responsible for member services, including Polyco’s Member Working Groups, set up to establish a closer working relationship with our members.
