Paper Recycling:

​

The Paper Recycling Association of South Africa (PRASA) calls on all South Africans – from schoolchildren to pensioners – to do their bit by recycling paper products at school, home and work for drop-off at local recycling depots or gathering by collectors who earn a living by selling it back to mills.

Tetrapak Recycling:

​

Did you know that the paper cartons
used to package fruit juice, milk, iced
tea, flavoured milk, wine, custard, and
dry goods like muesli and pet food are
recyclable and can be delivered to any
of the Mpact Recycling branches
