Ever wondered what really happens to the plastics you put in your kerbside bin?

Plastics NZ has partnered with Waste-Ed with Kate to develop a series of videos helping Kiwi’s better understand plastics recycling. This new video follows common plastics through the recycling system, helping viewers understand what happens after materials leave the kerbside bin and how recycling is already operating through New Zealand businesses and infrastructure.

Join Kate as she takes you behind the scenes, following the journey of #1, #2 and #5 plastics - and how they’re turned into new products right here in New Zealand. Watch the new video now.
