Representing all sectors of the South African plastics industry, Plastics SA is pleased to announce the appointment of Solami Bassaw as its new knowledge management and research analyst. Salomi is based at the company’s head office in Midrand, Gauteng.
She holds a BSc chemistry honours degree. Her background in plastics comes from the masterbatch sector, where she worked in R&D in the liquids masterbatch division. Salomi later moved on to R&D in pulp and paper.
A collaborative role
She will collaborate with Annabé Pretorius, technical operations executive, in the recently established knowledge base. This was developed specifically to meet the growing demand for current, region-specific and easily accessible technical and industry information.
Solami will concentrate on gathering pertinent industry data, research reports and trend and data analysis. She will also concentrate on locating industry gaps and putting initiatives in place to close those gaps.
Passionate about plastics
“I am thrilled to be working in plastics once more and am very excited about my new position. I’m looking forward to expanding my industry knowledge but am especially excited about being in a position to dispel some myths about plastics and share relevant, yet evidence-based research that will be helpful in both the workplace and in daily life,” says Solami.
Children are another one of Solami’s greatest loves. She firmly believes in laying the right foundations in children’s lives in order to create a brighter future for them. To this end, she founded a business in 2021 with the intention of encouraging and promoting reading.
