This catalogue was well received by the public and recyclingindustry. To build on the success of the 2008 catalogue the Department has updated the catalogue, which will be marketed and distributed throughout the Western Cape.This 2009 catalogue will make it easier to find and buy products,which will do the least harm to the environment when they areproduced.
