    Is your business working towards being more sustainable? ♻️ We believe there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to managing commercial waste and reducing what goes to landfill. A great place to start is with our increasingly popular waste audit services to better understand your waste output and identity the biggest potential for savings. While some waste can never be avoided, finding the right end-of-life solution will reduce both your costs and your environmental footprint. Many organisations find they save money in the long run by reducing their waste management costs when they have the right recycling systems in place - a win-win for business and the planet. Our team is ready to dive into your dumpsters to help you better understand your waste so if you’re spending more money than you want to on waste management or want to get closer to achieving your sustainability goals then contact our team at info@precycle.co.nz to discuss an audit.

    Where do your business's used paper towels end up? Time to rethink our daily practices and their impact. 🤔 From our work data, paper towels contribute to 90% of waste in gyms, 10% in industrial food processing, and up to 20% in general business waste. Paper towels, made primarily from trees, are often used just once then discarded. When decomposing in landfills, they release harmful methane and carbon dioxide that accelerate climate change. This is where we step in! ReFib, by Nelson Harper and Caleb Payne, is our sustainable insulation product for the construction industry made from waste paper towels. It is also the first-in-NZ paper towel recycling programme. By recycling paper towels, we can divert waste from landfills, save trees and preserve valuable materials like glass, keeping them in the recycling loop. This reduces carbon emissions and promotes a circular economy. 🌱 Since 2023, we have partnered with schools, gyms and offices using large amounts of paper towels daily in Palmerston North and collected their used paper towels for repurposing.

    Every week is recycling week here at Precycle NZ but October 21-27 is ‘the’ Recycling Week! ♻️ Recycling Week is an annual initiative to raise awareness and educate New Zealand on best practices for waste minimisation and recycling. Encouraging conscious procurement and disposal of items, creating a circular economy future for New Zealand. Next week we’ll be sharing more about one of our key recycling projects so stay tuned! As always, we encourage everyone to ensure recycling materials are sufficiently cleaned of contamination and put into the correct recycling bin, together with considering sustainable alternatives for things that can no longer be used, like repurposing, repairing and donating. Learn more about Recycling Week and how your organisation can get involved at https://lnkd.in/gMdZEhp6 #RecyclingWeek24 #SayNoToWaste

    Last month, Nelson Harper and Caleb Payne had the chance to present at Toyota New Zealand Limited's headquarters in Palmerston North. We shared some of our achievements, key projects and waste management work across different sectors. We also gave an update on ReFib, our innovative paper towel recycling project, which Toyota NZ has been a huge part of! We were excited to hear from Dylan Field about recycling initiatives Toyota NZ will be rolling out nationally. ♻️ It was a great day connecting with like-minded people passionate about sustainability. Huge thanks to Toyota NZ for your ongoing support. Looking forward to the next steps in our partnership! 🤝

    We recently launched our new Sustainable Events hub - https://buff.ly/4eqtjWs. Our mission is to drive positive change in the events industry by highlighting sustainable practices and connecting event professionals with the resources they need to make their events more sustainable. At Eventing the Future, we used Trace by Isla to track our carbon emissions, and we engaged with a local company, Precycle NZ, to manage our waste. We’re proud of these steps, but the journey toward sustainable events is ongoing—and we want your input. Check out the hub, explore the resources, and let us know in the comments how you're making your events more sustainable or what you'd like to see us cover next.

    Did you know that construction and demolition waste accounts for approximately 50% of all waste in New Zealand landfills? This waste is carbon-rich and has a significant potential for generating methane and greenhouse gases in landfills. Our primary focus lies on the most challenging waste streams that lack viable end-of-life solutions. We’re actively working towards developing innovative and creative technologies to recycle these materials, thereby reducing their environmental impact and fostering a circular economy. Our recent report on Recycling Opportunities for Construction & Demolition Waste Streams is available to view on our website which we hope can become a practical guide, offering insights into ways we can make our waste management practices more sustainable in regional New Zealand. https://lnkd.in/gg_2w82a

    Konnichiwa! We’re excited to introduce Kokoro Nakamura, our new Business Intern from IPU New Zealand. With a strong passion for sustainability, she is ready to contribute to our mission here at Precycle NZ. 🌟 To help you get to know her better, let’s dive into a quick Q&A where Kokoro shares a bit about her studies, goals and her experiences with us over the last few weeks. 1️⃣ Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? My name is Kokoro Nakamura, and I’m from Japan. Currently, I’m pursuing a Bachelor of Contemporary International Studies at IPU New Zealand. In my free time, I enjoy staying active, particularly by going to the gym. It’s a regular part of my routine and helps me maintain both physical and mental well-being. 2️⃣ What do you aim to achieve from this three-month internship programme? I have two key objectives for this internship. First, on a personal level, I’m keen to develop essential transferable skills like intercultural communication, critical thinking, and coordination. By working closely with the Precycle Team and participating in various projects, I hope to enhance my employability after graduation. Secondly, I aspire to become a sustainability-focused professional. Precycle NZ is renowned for its innovative solutions in waste and recycling, making this an invaluable opportunity for me to gain insights that will support my future career goals. 3️⃣ Could you describe a task you found particularly interesting? Analyzing waste audit reports last week was an interesting experience for me. Before joining Precycle NZ, I didn’t even know what a waste audit means, so learning about the process was incredibly valuable. It has given me a much deeper understanding of how waste can be managed systematically and efficiently. 4️⃣ Have you learned anything about waste management that surprised you over the last few weeks? One of the most surprising things I’ve learned is about the different types of plastics - recyclable and non-recyclable. In Japan, except for certain regions, we don’t typically separate plastic waste when disposing of it. The practice of sorting plastics for recycling here at Precycle NZ has really opened my eyes to the potential impact of proper waste separation. 5️⃣ How do you feel about the team and work environment at Precycle NZ? Initially, I was a bit nervous, but everyone has been so kind and supportive that I quickly felt comfortable. Working outside of my academic environment and with people having different expertise has been refreshing. Their clear explanations of tasks have helped me transition smoothly into my role, and I’ve enjoyed applying what I’ve learned in my studies to real-world projects. We’re thrilled to support Kokoro on her exciting journey. We look forward to sharing her progress and the positive impact she’ll make with our Team! 🥳
