At PKG, sustainability is not a department; it is how we build businesses that last.
We may be known for our PKG packaging solutions, but what truly defines us is how we think about the full lifecycle of what we produce.
We see packaging not as an isolated product, but as part of a connected system that must perform commercially, technically and environmentally.
Our producers are the founding members of the Reproplast Collective EPR Scheme, a practical example of how we turn sustainability commitments into real infrastructure.
Through PKG’s dedicated responsibility, we are enabling a functioning circular economy for rigid polyolefin packaging by connecting:
This allows us to move beyond compliance and into real impact.
Through Reproplast and RE:MINED™ materials, we are not only reducing post-consumer waste, we are creating a system where responsibility becomes a competitive advantage for the businesses we support.
We believe progress comes from continuous improvement and innovation. Across our businesses, we refine materials, processes and systems to make packaging more efficient, more responsible and more resilient for the future. That is why PKG continuously invests in:
We believe partnerships matter because sustainability cannot be achieved alone.
Through our recycling ecosystem and supplier networks, we help support waste reclaimers, small businesses and collection partners who form a critical part of South Africa’s circular economy.
This work helps support livelihoods, create employment opportunities, strengthen small businesses, build more inclusive supply chains, and create shared economic value.
Collecting waste is only part of the solution.
The real challenge is creating consistent demand for recycled material to sustain a truly circular system.
In collaboration with Reproplast, PKG has developed RE:MINED™ polymers: high-performance polypropylene (PP) engineered for reintegration into products without compromising performance or appearance.
RE:MINED™ enables brand owners to adopt circular materials with confidence supporting a sustainable ecosystem where environmental responsibility and commercial performance go hand in hand.
