Recycling Kiwi
Recycling Kiwi is a great business who aims to help find end of life solutions for packaging. They run an initiative the Soft Plastic Recycling Programme which is all abut informing kiwi’s about how to keep plastic bags and packaging out of the landfill. They encourage people to collect all the soft plastic packaging from home, then drop them into the soft plastic recycling bins at supermarket and retail premises. These soft plastics are then made into a large range of plastic products which are on sale in New Zealand.
Gina from the RX team has found that this initiative has allowed her to half her rubbish that is sent to the landfill. Make sure to look out for the soft plastics recycling bin at your local store.
