Who Are We
The South African Industrial Container Reconditioners Association (SAICRA) is a registered Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) under the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE). As South Africa’s industry leader for compliance and conformance in the industrial packaging and reconditioning sector, SAICRA drives the principles of regulation, accountability, and performance across all Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) frameworks.
Industry Recognition & Thought Leadership
SAICRA continues to play an active role in advancing sustainability, circular economy, and environmental reform across Southern Africa. Our CEO, Mark Gordon, is frequently invited to share his expertise on national and international platforms, contributing to the broader conversation around waste management, renewable energy, and climate policy.
In November 2025, Mark was featured as a guest speaker at the SAATCA Virtual Workshop — a certified 4-hour CPD training session focused on “Implementing and Auditing Climate Change Initiatives to Foster a Positive Culture that Supports both Food Safety and Environmental Sustainability.”
His presentation on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and Waste Management explored how South Africa’s regulatory landscape is evolving to promote accountability, innovation, and circular economy practices within industries.
This engagement reflects SAICRA’s ongoing commitment to bridging business and environmental policy — empowering organisations to achieve compliance while advancing sustainability.
