🚯 Don't trash our country. Recycle for change. ♻️🇿🇦

Recycling starts with you. The way you separate and handle your waste can make a big difference.

Keeping paper and paper packaging clean and dry helps ensure they can be recycled into new products instead of ending up in landfills.

Choose the recycling option that works best for your household:

📦 Support local collectors – Place clean, dry paper out for informal waste collectors who recover recyclable materials and sell them to buy-back centres.

🏫 Recycle at community collection points – Drop your paper at buy-back centres. Many schools also participate and use recycling to raise funds while helping the environment.

♻️ Use municipal recycling facilities – If your municipality has a recycling drop-off centre, take your paper there to help keep it in the recycling chain.

Every sheet of paper recycled helps conserve resources, supports livelihoods, and contributes to a cleaner South Africa.

Fibre Circle was proud to participate in Eskom's "Save Today, Sustain Tomorrow" Environmental Campaign Launch at Arnot Power Station this week.

The event highlighted the importance of environmental responsibility through meaningful action. Together with other stakeholders, we planted trees as a symbol of our commitment to a greener future and took an environmental pledge to reaffirm our shared responsibility to protect our natural resources.

We engaged with Eskom employees on the importance of environmental sustainability, paper and paper packaging recycling, and the role every individual can play in supporting South Africa's circular economy. These conversations reinforced that simple everyday actions, such as separating recyclable paper products from general waste can make a meaningful difference in reducing landfill waste and keeping valuable materials in circulation.

Environmental sustainability requires collective action, and every organisation has a role to play in driving positive change. We welcome opportunities to work with partners across all sectors to raise awareness, encourage responsible environmental practices and equip individuals with the knowledge to make more sustainable choices in their daily lives.

We thank Eskom's Arnot Power Station for including us in this important campaign. While initiatives such as these are one part of a much broader sustainability journey, engaging employees, encouraging responsible behaviour and fostering a culture of environmental stewardship are meaningful steps that contribute towards a more sustainable future.
