Since 1997, Southern Africa has ranked amongst the best in the world in steel beverage can recovery. The current recovery rate is 70%, which compares favourably with recovery rates quoted by first world countries.
Nampak Bevcan supports recycling in South Africa and neighbouring countries through
Collect-a-Can, a joint venture between Nampak and Arcelor Mittal South Africa. Collect-a-Can is dedicated to ensuring that used beverage cans and consequently tinplate, exist in harmony with the environment and is therefore involved in all the cradle-to-cradle aspects of can manufacture.
