Nampak, Africa’s largest packaging group is changing course and is now focusing on switching to sustainable and recyclable aluminium for its customers’ water products. The multinational is the latest company to modify its business model in order to respond to pressure from investors and consumers for environmentally friendly business practices.
Specializing in the manufacture and design of packaging used for energy drinks and food, the manufacturer says it sees big cost savings and green opportunities in aluminum product coatings.
In addition, in late 2020, the South African Government published further amendments to the National Environmental Management Waste Act. In response to these amendments, Nampak Liquid Cartons has announced the official membership of Fibre Circle. “We are actively working with Fibre Circle as our recognized Extended Producer Responsibility to establish the necessary infrastructure and alternative systems for the collection, recycling and material reuse of our liquid beverage cartons,” he concludes.
