A fabulous new initiative to help reduce waste and contribute to creating New Zealand's Circular Economy. Well done to all parties involved in getting this momentous project over the line and into the public arena ♻
Free tyre collections kick off across Aotearoa New Zealand from today, September 1! This means you can rest assured your tyres will be properly managed at their end of life, rather than go to landfill, be stockpiled, or illegally dumped, says Adele Rose, CE of Tyrewise Scheme Manager 3R Group. “New Zealand doesn’t have a great record on recovering and recycling tyres. Of the 6.5 million which reach the end of their life each year, only about 40% are being recycled – that will change with Tyrewise,” she says. Tyrewise has a target of 80% of tyres recovered, for recycling or use in a new product, by its fourth year, and over 90% by its sixth year 🥳🥳🥳
