These concerns have been adopted into the sustainability goals of the UN and the AU. Environmentalists and concerned bodies are waging war on plastic packaging, with some countries banning single-use plastics and introducing other tough restrictions. Despite this, plastic has a very important role in the functionality of packaging, and the lack of a suitable green, economical alternative makes plastic a necessary evil, at least for the foreseeable future. There is an urgent need for a radical change in manufacturing, particularly in the packaging industry. Many countries have adopted the circular economy (CE) model, which mimics the biorhythms of nature. Waste is seen as having value and as a resource for another process. True economic circularity may resolve the problem as well as create other opportunities, but requires ownership by all players. Accordingly, the South African government adapted its National Waste Management Strategy (NWMS), bringing in CE centrally to waste management, and introducing the requirement of Industry-Managed Waste plans, including the packaging industry. Evident from the latest State of Waste Report (SOWR) and the NWMS, much is happening at the regulation level and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) level. Weak governance, an uninterested South African public attitude towards waste management, and inadequate budget provision are some of the recent challenges (SOWR, 2018). Whilst the revised NWMS has included the circular economy model centrally to its strategy, it has also introduced new Industry Waste Management Plans, including paper and packaging, considered priority waste, amongst others. (DEA, 2019, National Waste Management Strategy, p.28-33.) Clomark, a prominent manufacturer of <br \/>printed packaging, and its top management is passionate about environmental initiatives and has been proactive in this regard for almost 20 years, thus becoming a front-runner in adapting to a CE model.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-37725b3\" data-id=\"37725b3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3232295 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3232295\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"578\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/clomark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Clomark-articles-Resourceful-Changes-Environmental-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1854\" alt=\"plastic packaging\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clomark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Clomark-articles-Resourceful-Changes-Environmental-1.png 578w, https:\/\/clomark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Clomark-articles-Resourceful-Changes-Environmental-1-300x179.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a89c3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9a89c3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>A FLURRY OF CHANGE<\/strong><br \/>Countries are adopting varied approaches, with many recently restricting or banning the use of \u201csingle-serve\u201d plastic packaging. Large corporates such as Coca-Cola, Nestl\u00e9 and PepsiCo are under pressure to modify packaging to make it more recyclable, reusable or compostable. There is growing environmental concern in many countries, including South Africa, with some of our customers approaching us for alternative \u201cgreen\u201d packaging solutions and innovation.<\/p><p>There appears to be conflicting thinking on how to move forward. A typical example is a retailer\u2019s recent change in packaging from a plastic tray to highly-absorbent cardboard. At face value, this appears to be a \u201cgreen\u201d move. However, it has moved from a 100% recyclable material to a board that, once contaminated with food residue, may not be recyclable, having then to be landfilled or composted. South Africa ranks very high globally in plastic recycling performance, whilst we do not yet have adequate composting facilities, and landfilled sites are near capacity. Hence this packaging initiative may not only have taken away the recyclability of its packaging but may place further pressure on landfilled sites as well as on further deforestation for board.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

Key consideration factors are a reduction in the volume of packaging, cost benefits, and the use of recyclable materials. The packaging designer is crucial to the success or failure of the CE performance, as material choices and quantity (shape, dimensions, etc), will ultimately determine downstream success or failure. Packaging SA compiled and released the \u201cDesign for Recycling for Packaging and Paper in South Africa\u201d in 2017, which provide technical information on the various materials used for packaging, recyclability information as well as material alternatives. It is, however, evident that many packaging designers are unaware of the document, and we encourage them to utilise these guidelines in terms of a CE effort. Whilst many types of plastics are recyclable in South Africa, many complex designs in terms of various different plastic layers coming together to form laminates then render them unrecyclable. Designers need to consider this, alongside functionality. Local R&amp;D is close to making a breakthrough in a recyclable <br \/>alternative to complex laminates. We encourage our customers to relook their product formulations that require complex packaging. A possible modification of active ingredients could very well simplify packaging design, as we have seen in the past. Microbeads used in body scrubs, a growing contaminant of water, have been successfully replaced by organic alternatives such as sugar, salt and wheat by many customers. We work very closely with key suppliers in design initiatives. Release liners, for example, are largely landfilled in SA. However, should these be collated from the various packers, these may be recycled. We are in discussion with our key customers on the subject.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ef2f5fe elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ef2f5fe\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cead012\" data-id=\"cead012\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f79984 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8f79984\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>FUTURE OUTLOOK<\/strong><br \/>The circular economy concept is relatively new to South Africa and will require significant effort from all stakeholders to achieve true circularity. Recycling may not be the ultimate answer to CE, however being a South African strength, it makes total sense to maximize diversion from landfills. Packaging SA states that \u201ccompanies failing to address environmental performance in product design and development will find it increasingly difficult to compete in the global market\u201d. Packaging designers need to consider the post-service activities of the packaging, bearing in mind that recycling may not always be the best option, environmentally or economically.
