Recycling Week 2025 is coming...

This Recycling Week, don’t just recycle—rethink, redesign, and lead the way to a circular future.

From 20–26 October, join thousands of Kiwis and hundreds of organisations nationwide as we take action to avoid, reduce, reuse, repair, and recycle smarter.

Imagine if every business, school, council, and individual across New Zealand made just one change to cut down waste—together, we could transform the future of our planet.

This year, Plastics NZ is proud to spotlight the incredible work our members are doing to enhance the circularity of plastics—focusing on redesign, recovery, and recycling. We’re celebrating the industry’s progress and aiming to inspire others to raise the bar even higher.

We'll be sharing recycling stories and initatives from member companies such as Kiwifil, Expol, Bonson, Marley, Vision Plastics, SCION, PPL and Whurl Plastics who are making a measurable difference in the circularity of plastics made or used in New Zealand.

We encourage other member companies to post their own recycling stories during this week - don't forget to tag us in!

Let’s inspire change. Let’s lead the conversation. Let’s highlight what works.
