Plastics|SA concluded its activities for 2016 by hosting its Annual General Meeting in Midrand last week. Speaking to the various members, captains of industry, media and other interested parties who were in attendance, Plastics|SA Chairman Bernhard Mahl used the opportunity to highlight the importance of innovation in the industry and issued a challenge to the audience to get out of a survival mindset and back into a growth mindset through a conscious commitment to innovation. “Looking back at what we have achieved during 2015, we can be proud of the fact that we have had a very successful year and that we managed to reach many of the strategic objectives we have set out to achieve. We have seen a growth of 6.4% in virgin material consumption to 1 490 000 tonne per annum, aswell as a 3% increase in the amount of plastics being recycled, allowing the local plastics Industry to now divert approximately 310 600 tonnes of plastics per annum from landfill,” Mahl said.
