Bowler specializes in the manufacture of packaging for the personal care, household, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage markets, focusing on bespoke solutions. We supply the medium to large volumes & standards markets with a wide spectrum of offerings including mould manufacture and maintenance.
The linear approach to plastics packaging currently dominant in the industry is not sustainable, and instead the loop needs to be closed to create a sustainable and mutually beneficial circular economy. This is an issue currently being addressed globally, but it is essential that in South Africa it is implemented within the landscape of our local economy.
A key part of this process is to continually research and innovate to produce plastics solutions that use raw materials most efficiently – to reduce overuse or excessive use of virgin plastic resources and integrate more recycled materials at production level. Furthermore, Bowler’s participation and involvement in driving a circular economy model for South Africa extends into awareness and education, supporting and funding.

Extended Producer Responsibility requires that the producer (which includes all sectors of the supply chain, including retailers and consumers) takes joint responsibility to deal with the product created and all the waste it creates after its commercial life. The National Environmental Management: Waste Act Act 59 of 2008 (NEMWA) makes this a legal requirement for all involved.
