4 An Introduction to PETCO Belinda Booker Collections And Training Projects Manager PETCO is the national industry body responsible for managing the PET industry s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in South Africa. German Chamber Of Commerce Recycling Workshop Monday 10 th October 2016 We have done this for over a decade and are funded by a voluntary recycling levy paid by industry.

5 PETCO is Extended Producer Responsibility in action, working collectively on behalf of those who make the PET raw material (resin producers) produce the bottles (convertors) fill these bottles (bottling companies) own the brands (e.g. Coca Cola) and who retail the products packaging in PET to the consumer (e.g. Pick n Pay) This responsibility results in recyclable and energyefficient PET material being increasingly collected and re-used instead of littering our streets or going into landfill

6 Our mission: To grow the collection & recycling of PET bottles after consumer use; To support existing & encourage new collection and recycling initiatives; and To promote a strong focus on public & consumer education & awareness programs.
