Tetra Pak Southern Africa reported a 33% post-consumer carton collection rate and a 31% recycling rate for liquid board packaging in 2025, an increase from 24% in 2024. This improvement is a result of ongoing investments and collaborations to enhance recycling infrastructure.

Tetra Pak has invested nearly R100 million in recent years, with R17 million allocated in 2025. The company works closely with the producer responsibility organization Petco and recyclers Mpact and Gayatri Paper Mills to strengthen collection networks, which have expanded from 32 to over 220 buyback centers nationwide. These initiatives support Tetra Pak's long-term goal of fostering a circular economy by 2030.
