| Packaging recycling essential |
| South Africa recycles approximately 30% of its polyethylene. This is an encouraging percentage and is only possible, in part, through easy identification of the polymers used. Peckpak GDK continues its drive to encourage its customers to accept the Polymer Identification Code on their retail packaging. Packaging materials can be diffficult to identify, particularly with the growing range of supposedly "green" plastics entering the recycling market. This makes it all the more important to display the recycling logo and the packaging. |

| Peckpak GDK commits itself to reducing its carbon footprint. |
| It is becoming clear that our energy costs are going to rise substantially over the next months. Thanks to ESKOM's poor planning this could be as much as 34%. Unwittingly, this provides a massive incentive in high energy consumption businesses to become more energy efficient. This will contribute to the global focus on carbon footprint reduction. |
