South African Plastics Pact Reuse Innovation Challenge 2021 | Opportunity Desk

Applications are open for the South African Plastics Pact Reuse Innovation Challenge 2021. The South African Plastics Pact is looking for reusable packaging solutions that can be viably implemented by brand owners and retailers in South Africa.

This solution should be geared towards reducing the amount of plastic waste in South Africa, ideally addressing currently non-recyclable plastics or those that are often littered. The South African Plastics Pact is working towards a circular economy for plastics, a South Africa where plastics are valued and do not pollute our environment. Part of the solution is to increase the number of reusable packaging items used in place of single use packaging.
