Closing the Loop on
Plastic Waste
We wash, extrude, and transform LDPE & PP plastic waste into premium recycled pellets for South African manufacturers.
Who We Are
Since 2021, Pakwe Recycling has grown into one of South Africa's specialists in recyclable plastic materials. Our name comes from the Sesotho word for Hawk — a symbol of sharp-eyed precision and relentless purpose. Just as the hawk soars with focus and intent, we pursue excellence in every kilogram of plastic we recover and transform.
We partner with commercial businesses and local authorities to turn plastic waste streams into valuable raw materials, helping our clients meet their waste-reduction and circular-economy objectives while building a cleaner South Africa.
