We are committed to “Be the Change” for a sustainable future by providing solutions for:

  • Waste to landfill reduction
  • Powering our factories with renewable energy
  • Recyclable product packaging solutions

Waste

We are committed to our goal of no factory waste to landfill and working with our customers to eliminate their waste to landfill.

Customer waste - by
reclaiming / recycling powder coat overspray

 

One of the significant benefits of powder coatings over other types of finishes is the ability to collect and reuse the oversprayed powder that doesn’t initially adhere to the items being coated. Under controlled conditions, recycling overspray in this way can in fact achieve over 95% recovery if the system is optimised.

Energy

Hydroelectricity

We are now using renewable energy to power our Powder Coatings factories.

 

Our Glenfield factory in Auckland is powered by Hydroelectricity, a renewable energy source that relies on the inflow of water into storage lakes upstream of a dam.
