PETCO

PETCO is South Africa’s national industry body accountable for managing the PET plastic industry’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Incorporated in 2004, our mission is to grow the collection and recycling of PET bottles, after consumer use, on behalf of our members.

Our efforts are financed by grants and mandatory EPR fees, paid by producers on every tonne of raw material they place onto the South African market.

We work with the whole PET value chain – from resin producers through to the converters, bottlers, brand owners, retailers, importers and consumers. And with everyone playing their part, our role of EPR promotes the integration of environmental costs associated with PET products throughout their life cycles into the market costs of the products.
