The Full Package
It's a confusing time in the world of compostables.
There are varying rules about ‘what can go where’, and what packaging can be accepted at varying composting plants across the NZ. Like all other waste streams in NZ, compostable packaging can be problematic when disposed of in the incorrect way. It doesn’t belong in your general waste, and it shouldn’t go in your recycling bin.
The best option is a commercial composting facility. ‘But where should I put your compostable packaging if there isn’t a collection bin or a commercial compost facility nearby?’ We hear you – So we’ve taken the complication out of where your compostable packaging goes. We created ‘The Full Package’, which encourages the collection and disposal of compostable packaging correctly.
Introducing...The Full Package.
So how does it work?
This public facing compost collection bin is suitable for both food waste and compostable packaging. The objective is to help decent packaging customers and the public divert more of their takeaway compostable packaging away from landfill. Not only showcasing that zero waste solutions do exist, but they’re easy to implement with the right collaboration.
Full Package collection bins are placed out the front of cafe and restaurant sites, enabling anyone who has compostable packaging a place where they can dispose of it and trust it is being composted. For cafes and restaurants, it’s simple, they clear the public facing compostable packaging bin when it fills up and put it out for collection. If you're not in an area covered by a collection agent, you can send your used packaging back to us directly and we will dispose of it for you.
