To help recycle large plastic items, we’ve invested in Te Taniwha o te Kai Kirihou, our plastic-eating monster. It processes items like wheelie bins and pallets, turning them into chips for recycling—a first for New Zealand.
If you have building and construction waste, talk to us about our material recovery facilities, which we’re extending to make recovering B&C materials easier. Working with Aliaxis (Marley), we collect uPVC and PE piping for remanufacturing.
