Collection is not the end of the recycling process.
Materials still need to be sorted, weighed, recorded and processed. Clean separation at source improves recycling outcomes.

E-waste is rapidly piling up in SA, causing environmental and health issues. Let's keep it in circulation. Collect, repair, reuse, and recycle to support a #CircularEconomy & create local jobs. Recycle right with #eWASA -supported channels. #RecycleRight #Sustainability

Packaging reuse & refill models are moving from pilots to practical circular economy infrastructure.

For SA EPR producers, they offer opportunities to improve packaging performance.

Do you think they are relevant to SA?

Africa already has a strong foundation for reuse: returnable bottles, refill stations, milk ATMs and bulk-buying models are part of daily life in many communities.

Before buying new, think repair or refurbish. Extending your device's life saves money and reduces e-waste.
Less waste, more value. Good for your wallet and the planet.

Used oil rule of thumb:

Do not pour it.
Do not dump it.
Do not bin it.

Use responsible collection channels.

Before you recycle old tech, ask this: can it still be repaired or refurbished?

EPR fees reflect the real cost of managing products after use: from collection and recycling to reporting and awareness. Different product streams need different fee approaches.

Green label or greenwashing?

Not every green claim is backed by proof. Before you trust a label, ask:
What is being claimed?
Who verified it?
Where is the proof?

Packaging compliance can’t be left to the last minute. We have a practical checklist for SA producers and retailers: design, labelling, recyclability, reporting, and EPR readiness. https://t.co/VnvBiXmsZT #EPR #Packaging #Recycling

Is EPR just a fee?
No. EPR is much more than a payment. It is a system of responsibility that includes funding, reporting, collection, take-back, recycling, monitoring, and public awareness.

[eWASA @eWASA_]

Turn waste into wealth!

In a circular economy, waste is a resource. Transform used oil & batteries into valuable assets.

Extend life. Recover materials. Reduce impact. Sustain our future.

Join the mindset shift beyond recycling. Make yesterday's waste tomorrow's resource.

Happy Freedom Day South Africa!

Glassine liner doesn’t have to end up in landfill.
eWASA’s take-back scheme is helping turn label backing paper into a recoverable resource through better collection, better coordination and certified recycling partners.
