ABOUT THE BURSARY PROVIDER – SAFRIPOL
SAFRIPOL is a leading polymer producer and marketer within the country. The company produces top-quality polymers for a variety of industries, namely the agriculture, infrastructure, manufacturing, medical, packaging, and telecommunications sectors.
SAFRIPOL’s polymers are used for a variety of reasons such as bottling, fibres, films, piping, multipurpose containers, non-woven fabrics, and packaging. The company is the sole local producer of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and HDPE (high-density polyethylene.) It is also one of the only two producers of polyethylene (PP) within the country.
SAFRIPOL’s vision is to produce plastics that are environmentally responsible. It believes that plastic is a useful and superior product, both in its application and impact on the environment.
