SISTER COMPANY NEWS & AFRICA PRINT WRAP UP |
News on Packaging SA and waste collection, Africa Print Mbombela wrap up, and how AI can add value to your business. |
Packaging SA recently held their first Board meeting for 2023 and reflected on a number of milestones that were reached.
They took a lead on the coordination of the various EPR schemes and are pleased to announce that the PRO Alliance is now functioning well, a draft Moi was developed and a CEO is to be appointed soon. The initial waste picker service fee proposal was a flat fee of 15 cents per kg collected, but this was rejected by the Alliance, who proposed a pilot project to allow PROs to pay only registered Buy Back Centres and registered waste pickers. Paying waste pickers, a living wage is not financially possible, and also a standard fee is not sustainable as some waste has more value than others. Therefore a differentiated model has been proposed – 15c for 1 kg of paper or plastic, aluminium at R12, and PET between R4-7 per kg. |
Thank you for exhibiting at the Africa Print Mbombela expo this week. Attached is the Industry Trailblazer certificate for you in appreciation of your support at this event. Congratulations on your stand award! |
It is said that Dreams become reality when great potential finds the right partner. Printing SA would like to extend our deepest gratitude to our sponsors for having supported the federation and the industry during these difficult times. |
