About Recycling Week

Recycling Week is an annual initiative to raise awareness and educate New Zealand on best practices for waste minimisation and recycling. Encouraging conscious procurement and disposal of items, creating a waste-free future for New Zealand.

Launched in 2013, an ever-increasing number of organisations (schools, corporates and everything in between) are having fun and learning by taking part in the week.

Back to Basics

In 2024 we are going back to basics when it comes to waste minimisation.
This year's theme focuses on the first step of any waste minimisation journey.
Whether this is your first or eleventh Recycling Week, to successfully kickstart your waste minimisation journey you need to:

"Understand your waste"

Only through full understanding of the problem can a sustainable solution be achieved.
