The Deputy Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Ms. Bernice Swarts, will lead a site visit to the ALPLA PET Recycling Plant, on Wednesday, 06 November 2024 in Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal Province.
The ALPLA facility is projected to directly create around 100 jobs, with the establishment of a regional recycling material collection system anticipated to generate over 10,000 indirect jobs.

The initiative aims to enhance the circular economy and fosters local empowerment, job creation, and environmental sustainability in the region.
