​📜 EcoPack Direct: 2026 Compliance Statement

​Our Commitment to the NWMS 2026

​At EcoPack Direct SA, we understand that in 2026, packaging is more than just a box—it is a responsibility. We are committed to helping South African SMMEs navigate the National Waste Management Strategy 2026 by providing packaging solutions that prioritize waste minimization and the circular economy.

​1. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)

​Under the Section 18 Regulations of the National Environmental Management: Waste Act, all our primary suppliers are registered with recognized Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) such as PETCO, Mpact Recycling, or POLYCO.

• ​What this means for you: When you buy from us, you are sourcing from a supply chain that contributes to the national collection and recycling targets for 2026.

​2. Material Integrity & Transparency

​We verify the environmental claims of every product we stock to prevent "Greenwashing."

• ​Recyclable Products: Our paper-based products (Honeycomb wrap, WAT tape) are 100% compatible with South African kerbside recycling streams.

• ​Compostable Products: Our compostable mailers meet international standards (EN13432 / ASTM D6400) and are designed to break down without leaving microplastics, aligning with the 2026 "Zero Non-Residual Waste to Landfill" targets.

​3. Design for Circularity

​Following the DFFE "Recyclability by Design" guidelines, we prioritize "Mono-material" packaging (items made from a single type of fiber or polymer). This ensures that your customers can easily dispose of your packaging without needing complex separation, increasing the likelihood of successful recycling.

​🛡️ Small Business Assurance: > By switching to EcoPack Direct, you are not just buying a product; you are future-proofing your brand against the tightening environmental regulations of 2027 and beyond.
