Decentralised energy supports transition to low-emissions resilient communities: reduces transmission losses, making the system more efficient than centralised energy; lowers dependencies on a few large power stations; cost saving benefits for users (once established – only maintenance costs); based on truly renewable sources (sun and wind).

We ran a 6-month trial, collecting food scraps from households and businesses in Mangawhai. The roadside pickup ran weekly, and our compost bins – located at our local community garden – were filled with a layer of organic waste from the collection. Over 6 months, we managed to divert an estimated 3,415kgs of food waste from landfill and made piles of lush compost – much of which has gone to the Mangawhai. We have begun to sell bags of our nutrient rich compost. We now offer compost collection service permanently and will start investigating how to roll further throughout Kaipara.

Batch made in New Zealand, the twiice edible cup is no-waste and no dishes.

The twiice cup is leakproof and will stay crisp at least as long as it takes to drink your coffee, and longer. So bite into that vanilla-flavoured goodness and be satisfied that one less takeaway cup will end up in New Zealand's landfill.

Fulton Hogan imports approximately 100 tonne of road cones annually, replacing cones that are beyond their use-by date due to wear-and-tear, fading and loss of luminosity. It now sends them cones to Matta Products, which turns them into safety matting for playgrounds. This turns one safety product into another and gives it multiple decades of additional life. What started as a collaboration between a user and a recycler, is set to become industry-wide, as demand grows for sustainably sourced safety matting.
