The SA plastics industry is currently in the throes of

one of the most challenging periods in its history.

Not only are we facing increased electricity,

transport and raw material costs on the local front,

but the sharp increase in imports also poses a

very real threat to our progress. Despite this, the

industry has shown signs of growth but we will

have to devise innovative strategies to grow our

markets, if we are to overcome these challenges.

To maximise the benefit to the South African recycling

industry, the amendments to the Waste Management Act

need to be tapped to promote and grow this sector. To

this end, has been in discussions with DEA

regarding the classification of plastics waste and the pricing

strategy.

is raising awareness of the importance

of industry and its impact on the economy through

engagement with various Portfolio Committees in

Parliament. These alliances will hopefully facilitate the

protection of and create opportunity to stimulate growth

in the South African plastics industry.

Politically, the process of radical transformation and its

impact on the economy has necessitated that our strategies

are constantly re-evaluated and re-worked. A strategic

session has been planned for November in order to review

research conducted on the industry’s growth and how it

impacts on our current strategy.

It is however imperative that our industry supports

’s invaluable efforts to take the industry to new

heights. I would therefore like to implore you to:

• Support member organisations;

• Participate in meetings and activities; and

• Respond to requests from for information.

Thank you to the Team for your contribution to

yet another successful year, despite a myriad of challenges.

We look forward to great things ahead.

N O T E F R O M T H E E X E C U T I V E D I R E C T O R

During this financial year, the industry was forced to embrace change, adapt

and face enormous challenges in a struggling economy which doesn’t always

facilitate local manufacturing.

Besides making headway on many important challenges facing

us, the industry has seen some encouraging growth over the past year.

is grateful to those members of the industry who contribute

towards our activities by way of membership fees. There are still raw material

producers and importers who are not subscribing to the fees and we would like to encourage the industry

to support those that support us, making it possible to fulfil our Vision of enabling a vibrant and sustainable

plastics industry in South Africa.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to my team at , to the Board

and the Executive Committee whose input and guidance have proved invaluable and without whom we

certainly could not have achieved the successes of the past financial year.

I hereby present The Catalyst – A review of Plastics|SA’s highlights 2013/14.

Increasingly scarce natural resources and expensive landfill space are making

recycling ever more important.

At the end of their service life, plastics are still much too valuable a resource to be

simply thrown away. They can be recycled back into their original forms or to produce a new

product and where this is not possible used for energy recovery.

Waste Management and Recycling

Waste Management Legislation and RegulationsTo assist the plastics industry to obtain National Legislation and Regulations relevant to plastics waste

management and to obtain the waste management strategies and action plans of the provinces and

councils in relation to plastics.

To assist the plastics industry, government, the waste industry and society in South Africa to minimise plastics

waste by facilitating the reuse and recycling of post-consumer plastics.


The Residential At-Source Recycling - Best Practice Survey researched and documented

municipalities and communities whose source-separation practices are yielding optimum

volumes of quality plastic recyclate.

This survey will assist the ‘s Sustainability Council in the key performance area

of the Industry Waste Management Plan and support provincial waste managers with the

development of their IWMP`s (Integrated Waste Management Plans).

Academic and Research InstitutionsA Round Table discussion was held to bridge the gap between industry and the academic institutions relevant to the Plastics Industry. The discussion included academics with a research and development focus other than just an academic role so as to encourage research undertaken in being more relevant and accessible to Industry’s needs and to develop partnerships with other providers for the training needs required by Industry.

TUT Advisory CommitteeA gap that previously existed between the Industry’s needs and University qualifications is now also being addressed through our inclusion and active participation on the advisory committee of Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) - Polymers Division.

We are now in a position to influence the curriculum for Plastics Technology studies, ensuring its relevance to industry requirements and students that are suitably qualified to perform effectively within the workplace. We also participate on TUT’s Industrial Design Advisory Committee.

MersetaThe Merseta’s research on competencies, skills and knowledge required for jobs through the Plastics Chamber within which

has very strong participation, is now in the third phase. The end result of all the research undertaken thus far has been invaluable in highlighting areas of strengths, challenges and opportunities in skills development in the industry. Key value chains were identified and mapped which will be expanded upon in the third phase to define job profiles for each occupation in the value chain. This will also include identifying the institutions where one could acquire the relevant qualifications for that occupation. Ultimately the new research will culminate in a comprehensive career map of occupations in the Plastics Industry.

Learnerships and Skills Programmes

’s Learnerships and Skills Programmes are all geared toward making organisations more competitive through filling major skills gaps that exist in the workforce in our industry.

Plastics Manufacturing Setter Qualification registered as a TradeThe completed curriculum is awaiting registration at the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA). The Occupational Trades developed through the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) is the new way of developing Occupational Qualifications. The process seems to be delayed as a result of a lack of shared understandings. The OFO Code is being recommended in the new amendment to fall under manufacturing machine setter plastics manufacturing (OFO Code 653311).

Only once the Trade is registered at SAQA will the Trade Tests be developed through NAMB’s (National Artisan Moderation Body) facilitation.

New Product DevelopmentThe following new programmes were developed

Welding

• Thermoplastic Fabrication NQF L3 and NQF L4

• Overlap Welding NQF L2

• Thermoplastic Welding Inspection (Non-NQF)

Polymer Compound Manufacturing NQF L2 (Industrial Rubber)

Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Points for Engineers

has acquired CPD points for 3 of its product offerings viz.:• Plastics Materials and Processes Overview – 3 CPD points

• Injection Moulding Fault Identification and Rectification – 3 CPD Points

• Injection Moulding Overview for Managers – 2CPD Points

Support is needed to ensure a consistent

stream of clean waste for recycling

Diversion from landfill is critical –

separation at source is a solution

Consider structured

approach to energy from waste

Industry has achieved recycling targets through the Sustainability Council and the Polymer Groups -

a voluntary EPR system

Consumer education important to change

mindset on waste and responsibility

Countries of destination for recyclable plastics waste in 2013

Approximately 18 000 tons of plastics waste were exported to be recycled elsewhere in 2013

Better prices offered overseas result in shortage of clean waste material for local recycling

Many tons imported to supply local demand
