dc.description.abstract Recent statistics on recycling of post-consumer packaging suggest that South Africa recycled 50.5% of all post-consumer packaging waste in 2012 (BMI, 2013). As with most developing countries, these encouraging recycling figures would not have been achieved without an active informal sector (DST, 2013; Wilson et al., 2013, SAPRO, 2014). An estimated 70-90% of packaging waste recycled in South Africa, is sourced by the informal sector (BMI, 2013), while only 3.3% of urban households are reported to recycle a fair amount of recyclables on a regular basis (Strydom, 2012).
