- Mpact Limited is a prominent integrated enterprise operating across the paper and plastics packaging and recycling sectors in Southern Africa. The company structures its operations into two primary divisions: Paper and Plastics. The Paper division encompasses recycling, paper manufacturing, and converting activities. Mpact is a leading collector of recyclable materials in South Africa, including paper, plastics, glass, and liquid cartons, which are then processed to serve as feedstock for its own mills or sold to other recyclers. Its manufacturing facilities produce recycled-based packaging and industrial paper grades, such as high-performance containerboard and various carton boards, utilizing both recycled fiber and, historically, bagasse. Through its converting operations, the company creates a diverse range of printed and unprinted corrugated goods, including sheets for box production, specialized die-cut cases, folded glued cases, trays, point-of-sale displays, and items like cups, lids, and bags. These paper-based offerings are supplied to other corrugated board and box manufacturers, folding carton producers, and directly to sectors like agriculture, fast-moving consumer goods, and other industries requiring durable and non-durable packaging solutions. Within the Plastics division, Mpact manufactures an extensive array of plastic packaging. This includes polyethylene terephthalate (PET) preforms, bottles, and jars for beverages and food, along with various closures for food, beverage, household, and chemical applications. The company also produces robust plastic jumbo bins, wheeled bins, pallets, and crates, as well as rigid packaging for fast-moving consumer goods, polystyrene and PET trays, and vinyl films. These plastic products cater to a broad spectrum of markets, including food, beverage, personal care, home care, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and retail industries. Mpact's business model is distinctly focused on driving a circular economy by closing the loop in paper and plastic packaging through its comprehensive recycling and beneficiation processes. The company maintains its headquarters in Johannesburg, South Africa.
