Recycling is Boring®

Recycling is Boring® is leaving the comments section and turning up IRL. We take the questions Kiwis actually ask and run them past someone who knows their re-cycling from their wish-cycling, so there’s less guessing and more doing. It’s also why our bottle is kerbside-friendly PET: finish it, rinse it, and it has a real shot at a second life.

Next weekend at Norma Taps, come hungry and nosy. We'll sort your coffee and breakfast, show two very short films, then hand the mic to our mate Kate, from Wast-Ed, where you'll get to ask the curly ones. You'll also have the chance to make a free beeswax wrap with Love Food Hate Waste and rummage through a pocket-sized market. It’s free, but you’ll need to register to lock a spot.

When it comes to recycling in Aotearoa, many of us are still scratching our heads. Is any of this actually getting recycled? Why did the rules change? And are we shipping the lot offshore?

We called our mate Kate from Wast-Ed to help break down what’s actually happening behind the scenes, and what we can do to make it work better. We talk through the myths of kerbside recycling, our responsibilities as consumers and brands, and why Boring® still uses plastic bottles instead of *cough Tetra Pak.
