At PROPLAS, we believe that recycling plastic materials leads to a more sustainable economy and improved usage of Earth’s limited resources. Our focus is to help companies in the plastics industry to maintain their waste streams and rework their waste to be re-used in the production of quality articles. With our state-of-the-art facilities we are able to recycle almost any type of plastic, whilst delivering superb customer and supplier service.
PROPLAS is the biggest hard-plastic recycling company in South Africa, sourcing plastics from all over Southern Africa, stretching across the South African borders to Swaziland, Namibia and Botswana, while continually exploring new areas such as Kenya and Tanzania as potential sources of plastic waste.
We have the experience and expertise of being in the plastics recycling industry for over 25 years, with clients such as SAB-Miller, Distell and Usabco. Innovation and process improvement have been an integral part of our journey, but throughout, our objectives have remained the same:
1. To put systems in place that suits every individual supplier’s needs to make it as convenient and cost-effective as possible for them to deliver their waste streams for recycling.
2. To build lasting relationships with our plastic suppliers by providing a value-added solution that goes beyond merely taking their waste to making them part of the creation of a sustainable environment in the plastic manufacturing industries where plastic is viewed as an asset that can be reworked and re-used with minimal waste actually going to a landfill.
3. To maintain a culture of reducing waste to the minimum and making people aware of what they can do to help in reducing waste, and how to correctly handle any waste there might be in order to capture its inherent value.
