The CANZ Composites Recycling and Reuse Sub-Group is working to form collaboration, knowledge and supply networks across NZ and internationally to enable recycling and reuse of composites materials in NZ. We aim to support the implementation of solutions for waste minimisation, recycling and reuse options amongst CANZ members and are committed to developing supports for NZ composites industry to navigate to a more sustainable the future.
The CANZ Zero Waste Pathway was first presented at the CANZ 2020 Conference – this pathway informs our goals & action planning towards zero-waste for our industry.
