Ethical Waste is a social and environmental enterprise business that is working with the Ruapehu district to reach their target of “Zero Waste by 2040”. We are transforming the transfer station into a Resource Recovery Center with an awesome secondhand store that contains items that were destined for landfill.
We have raised employment from 2 people to 5 people within 1 year. Through the new jobs being generated along with education, we are on our way to reaching the Zero Waste 2040 target.
