MONDI SOUTH AFRICA DIVISION (MSAD)
South Africa is home to the Mondi Ltd headquarters. MSAD has three divisions - a paper mill in Merebank, Durban, a pulp and linerboard mill and wood chipping plant in Richards Bay and Forestry Operations. At Merebank, Mondi produces a range of high quality A4 office paper for domestic and international markets. Mondi Rotatrim, the Better Performance Paper is South Africa's leading brand of office paper and was the first A4 paper manufactured in South Africa to achieve a 160CIE whiteness and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification. Mondi Shanduka Newsprint (MSN) is also located in Merebank and produces newsprint and telephone directory paper.
The Richards Bay mill produces two key products: Baycel, a premier grade bleached hardwood pulp made from 100-percent eucalyptus fibre, and Baywhite, a white top kraft linerboard. Both are also FSC certified. The SilvaCel woodchip plant, also located in Richards Bay, produces eucalyptus and wattle woodchips for export markets. In South Africa, Mondi owns and manages one of the largest Forestry Stewardship Certified plantation units in the world. This means that the company's plantations are managed in a responsible and sustainable manner. Several of the non-afforested areas are managed for biodiversity and forest protection. These include important wetlands, grassland and indigenous forest ecosystems.Nineteen registered national heritage sites indicate the environmental importance of Mondi's non-afforested areas.
