PASA EPR 2030 Conference

02/09/2026

The PASA EPR 2030 Conference brought together government, municipalities and industry to have meaningful conversations about moving EPR from compliance to impact.

From insights by Mvuselelo Mathebula (DFFE) and Alderman Grant Twigg, to a powerful keynote by Edward Kieswetter, former SARS Commissioner, the discussions challenged the sector to think differently about collaboration, infrastructure and shared impact.

R2E2 NPC was proudly represented by our Chief of Operations, Artwell Koza, as a panelist, contributing to discussions on building scalable national collection systems, municipal partnerships and waste reclaimer integration.

These are the conversations that will shape EPR 2.0 and a cleaner, more circular South Africa.

One Goal. One Voice. Greater Impact.

Hello September! 🌍♻️

As we step into a new month, we’re taking a moment to look back at one of R2E2 NPC’s highlights from August the PASA Conference in Cape Town.

Together with EWASA and Circular Energy, under the PASA banner, we brought industry stakeholders together around a shared vision: driving circular economy collaboration for a cleaner, more circular South Africa.

At the heart of the conference was an important conversation around EPR 2.0 looking beyond compliance and exploring how Extended Producer Responsibility can deliver greater environmental, social and economic impact.

From insightful discussions and industry collaboration to new partnerships and shared commitments, the conference reminded us of what is possible when the sector comes together with one goal, one voice and greater impact.

Here are some highlights from a memorable gathering in Cape Town. 🇿🇦♻️

As we close out August, the R2E2 family wants to take a moment to reflect on everything this month brought our way.

Every challenge gave us a lesson, every breakthrough brought a blessing, and every shared moment created memories we will always cherish. 🌻✨

​Thank you to our amazing community for walking this journey with us. Here’s to turning the page, stepping into a new month with gratitude, and continuing to grow together. 💛

Ready to embrace what lies ahead with renewed energy and purpose.

R2E2 NPC, in partnership with EWASA and the Cape Association for Persons with Disabilities, hosted a practical Separation at Source Workshop aimed at building skills and strengthening inclusive participation within the circular economy.

Participants received hands-on exposure to e-waste identification, safe dismantling, material separation and responsible resource recovery, demonstrating how discarded electronics can be transformed from waste into valuable resources.

Through partnerships like these, we continue to combine environmental responsibility, skills development and meaningful economic participation as we work towards a more inclusive circular economy. ♻️🌍

Today marked the first day of our five-day workshop across the Eastern Cape, bringing together key stakeholders with a shared commitment to building a more inclusive, coordinated and sustainable waste management sector.

Under the PASA banner, we presented a unified approach centred around “One Goal, One Voice, Greater Impact”. This is aimed at creating a platform where industry and communities can work together towards practical solutions and greater opportunities within the circular economy.

PRO representatives from R2E2, eWASA and Circular Energy came together to engage directly with MSMEs, Waste Pickers/Reclaimers and members of the broader community listening, sharing knowledge and strengthening collaboration at grassroots level.

This is more than a workshop. It is about ensuring that every voice in the waste value chain is heard, recognised and empowered.

♻️ One Goal. One Voice. Greater Impact.

Yesterday, R2E2, in partnership with EWASA and Circular Energy, proudly hosted the Minister’s E-Waste Imbizo in the Free State, marking the 9th province in the National E-Waste Imbizo campaign. ♻️🇿🇦

This milestone reflects the power of collaboration between Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs), the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), recyclers, and local communities in driving responsible e-waste management across South Africa.

A special thank you to the PRO Alliance of South Africa (PASA) for laying the foundation for meaningful collaboration within the PRO industry and for recognising community participation by awarding prizes to the highest e-waste collectors, as well as the oldest and youngest participants.

It was also heartwarming to see so many children attend the event, learning about the importance of recycling and environmental stewardship from an early age. Their enthusiasm is a reminder that building a sustainable future starts with educating the next generation.

Together, we’re creating cleaner communities, promoting the circular economy, and inspiring lasting environmental change. 🌍💚
