Our Commitment to Sustainability

The joint venture between WM New Zealand and Aliaxis, is committed to reducing plastic waste and supporting New Zealand’s circular economy.

Closing the Loop

uPVC and HDPE are durable materials that can last up to 100 years in infrastructure and construction applications. By recycling these plastics back into high-quality products, we significantly reduce the need for virgin plastic production and keep valuable resources in use. Our approach ensures:

Full circularity 

Recycled materials are turned back into high-quality pipes and fittings.

No down-cycling 

We maintain the integrity and strength of the materials.

Sustainable manufacturing 

Our recyclate resins are used in New Zealand and Australia.

Develop nationwide collection networks for construction and demolition plastics.

Partner with researchers to improve waste minimisation in the building industry.

Collaboration for Impact

Tackling plastic waste requires strong partnerships.

Providing a nationwide collection network to source and sort plastic waste.
