Abstract

The article discusses how the paper and forestry industries in South Africa are becoming a successful example of the circular economy and representing a sustainable approach to paper-product manufacturing. Topics include the views of Edith Leeuta, Chief executive officer of Fibre Circle, on the contribution of the pulp and paper sector to the economy; and how the paper products need to be kept separate from wet waste and moisture to retain the fibre integrity for efficient recycling.
