SILAFRICA Tanzania Ltd

Silafrica, a leading company of plastic and packaging solutions for corporations, consumer packaged goods (CPGs) and consumers, has announced its partnership with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and its global commitment to Circular Economy. Noteworthy in this announcement is the fact that Silafrica, a long-recognized leader in manufacturing sustainable plastic packaging solutions, is the first packaging manufacturing company in Africa to join with the Global Commitment and its efforts to establish a global circular economy.
“Everyone in our organization is proud to be working with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and share in their commitment to eliminate plastic waste and create a sustainable future for our planet,” stated Akshay Shah, Group Executive Director at Silafrica.

As part of their commitment to being a member of the Foundation, Silafrica plans to screen their portfolio for areas of concern and unnecessary categories of plastic packaging for elimination and publishing the outcome. The Company currently recycles more than 1,600 tons/yr. of secondary industrial packaging (i.e., crates) and plans to increase the amount to 5,000 tons/yr. by adding more crates, pallets and other non-packaging products that have a social impact towards improving low-income community quality of life and the natural environment.
