New Zealand’s latest milestone in waste reduction: Kia Manawa Ora. Green Gorilla’s new Waikato facility is the country’s most advanced resource recovery plant. Fully electric and purpose-built, this cutting-edge operation diverts construction waste, defining the modern standard for a circular economy in Aotearoa.
From a single construction waste skip bin to complex multiple waste collection services for large construction projects. We have the machinery, experience and recycling centres to get your waste diverted from landfills.
Construction and Demolition produce nearly 570,000 tonnes of waste a year, roughly half the entire landfill volume and equivalent to 23,155 shipping containers of rubbish.
The uptake of green building techniques in the construction industry has helped better manage the number of waste materials. However, it still creates large amounts of waste that can be recycled and diverted from New Zealand landfills. Our specialist waste processing facility is a vital link in processing to reduce landfills and create recycled by-products.
Within our gorilla-sized 3,000m² building we operate large-scale mechanical and manual sort lines. It’s here we process industrial, construction and demolition waste to achieve greater than 70% diversion from landfills.
The Onehunga plant operates daily to process incoming waste material. The recovered product is shipped out continuously to nearby users or further processed at our facility. Let’s get your waste through our facility for better sustainable outcomes.
Metals are sent to specialist metal recycling plants for processing. Our wood-chipping operation turns treated wood into wood chips, that is used for biofuel and untreated wood into landscaping chips and animal bedding. Whilst our plasterboard processing plant in Auckland separates gypsum for horticultural and agricultural sectors. So, when you use Green Gorilla™, you’re not just keeping waste out of landfill, you’re ensuring it lives again in another useful form.
