Plastic free July | Africa's first biodegradable, plant-based packing

JOHANNESBURG - South Africans generate roughly 122 million tons of waste per year.

But, only 10 percent of it is recycled, with the rest discarded in landfills.

This is the bleak reality we face this Plastic Free month of July.

It encourages people worldwide to take small steps to make a big difference in our environment.

Now, FORTIS X has launched Africa’s first biodegradable and recyclable plant-based packaging.

To tell us more about this is Nicholas de Beer, Director at Fortis.
