High profile sustainability partnership for Mpact Waste Management and newly developed Pick n Pay Eastport distribution centre

Mpact Waste Management is now providing sustainable on-site waste management services for Pick n Pay’s super distribution centre at Eastport Logistics Park, near OR Tambo International Airport in Gauteng.

The 164,000m² Eastport distribution centre, a collaborative venture between Fortress Real Estate Investments Limited and Pick n Pay, demanded a waste management partner that shared its vision of sustainability and recycling. While economic and practical considerations played a pivotal role in the selection process, Pick n Pay insisted on an environmentally responsible approach that placed recycling at the forefront.

With its solid track record in waste management services, Mpact Waste Management was brought onboard in January 2023, following a rigorous Request for Proposal process.

“Since then, our hands-on commitment to recycling has seamlessly integrated with Pick n Pay’s sustainability objectives,” says Faizel Abdul, Key Account Manager for Mpact Waste Management at Eastport. “We have effectively implemented a tailored, cost-efficient waste management solution that is aligned with the complex, high-volume demands of this large-scale operation.”

“We have a dedicated team of experts on-site that are continuously overseeing waste collection and processing,” reports Abdul. “All processed cardboard will be transformed into paper at one of our mills and then returns to Pick n Pay as fresh cardboard – a model example of the circular economy in action.”

“The solutions we offer are adding substantial value for Pick n Pay,” he continues. “This partnership also brings us closer to a circular economy and helps protect our environment by reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.”

This alliance not only highlights the expanding capabilities of Mpact Waste Management, but also underscores its commitment to continuous innovation, and further solidifies its reputation in the industry.
