Better glass recycling
We want better environmental outcomes for container glass that benefit our communities.
That’s why we commissioned independent consultants to design the best system for New Zealand.
An Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme is a smarter, long-term solution for container glass New Zealanders can be proud of.
See how the scheme would increase glass recycling, reduce emissions and boost our circular economy
Glass Packaging Forum
We want better environmental outcomes for container glass that benefit our communities.
That’s why we have a plan to enhance New Zealand’s existing glass recycling infrastructure and collection networks nationwide to create a smarter, long-term solution New Zealanders can be proud of.
What & Why
The Glass Packaging Forum is urging New Zealanders to rally behind a proposal to enhance glass recycling in support of New Zealand’s ambition to create a zero-waste society.
It includes all container glass – peanut butter jars and sauce jars, as well as beverage glass like beer and juice bottles.
The proposal is a simple, cost effective system for all container glass.
This website has been designed to provide information to all New Zealanders who wish to gain an understanding of this proposed scheme.
