Marley rolls out uPVC recycling
After several months working with Plumbing World, Waste Management NZ, and with support from the Auckland Council’s Waste Minimisation Innovation Fund, Marley has been rolling out its first uPVC Recycling Stations.
The stations are located at Plumbing World stores near major urban growth centres including Silverdale, Albany, Kingsland, Panmure, and Takanini.
Marley asks that only clean uPVC is dropped off at these stores for recycling by Marley in Auckland.
The company says: “This is a free service that we are piloting because we believe that the future of plastics manufacturing is in creating a circular loop for plastic materials.
“It’s estimated that 26,000T of plastics from the construction and demolition industry goes to landfill in Auckland alone.
“Although this is a small step to support Auckland Council’s aspirational goal of being a zero-waste city by 2040, it is only one of many steps we are taking in growing sustainability.”
