Soft Plastics
We're huge supporters of shifting from a traditional economy to a more sustainable way to lead in retail, where waste is turned into something new instead of being sent to landfill.
One key project we support is the Packaging Forum's Soft Plastic Recycling Scheme. We have soft plastics recycling available at 38 The Warehouse stores, and from 2021-2022 we helped Kiwis recycle 63.5 tonnes of soft plastic waste!
Once collected, the plastic is sent to Second Life Plastics in Levin to be turned into garden edging, and to Future Post in Waiuku to be transformed into fence posts. Take a look at the FuturePost development process in the video.
See Soft Plastic Recycling for a list of stores participating in the scheme.
