Building a more sustainable New Zealand, together
Formed in 1989, we represent small and large waste operators, materials recovery facilities, community groups, researchers, food rescue groups, major supermarkets, tech companies, packaging producers, contaminated land specialists, consultants and many others looking to make a difference to the environment.
Our members help to shape the waste, resource recovery and contaminated land management sectors in New Zealand and provide input into relevant legislation and policy from central government.
We work towards ongoing and positive development of our industry through strengthening relationships, collaboration, knowledge sharing and championing the implementation of good practice standards.
Our eight sector groups provide best practice guidance, thought leadership and resources on some of Aotearoa’s pressing issues. If you’re a member, you can access additional member only resources and information through the member portal.
