PACKIT

PACKIT has introduced this pilot scheme in collaboration with New World Centre City Dunedin to collect and recycle your Number 5 PP plastic containers... Currently 20% of solid waste produced is made up of plastic (US EPA figures), with globally less than 1% of Number 5 polypropylene PP plastic currently being recycled and remanufactured into new products. We aim to change this in New Zealand and be world leaders in the process... This is why we have set up Recycle It. We want to optimise the amount of Number 5 ♷ PP plastic which is recycled and remanufactured on-shore in New Zealand. We want to ensure we can meet demand for remanufactured Number 5 ♷ PP plastic and reduce New Zealand companies' dependency upon overseas suppliers. We want to enable you to go shopping and buy products packaged in Number 5 ♷ PP plastic, knowing you've helped our environment, supported manufacturers and most importantly looked after your children's future. It's a win-win-win situation for all Kiwis.
