Love NZ and Be a Tidy Kiwi have today launched a joint campaign to encourage New Zealanders to “Litter Less Recycle More.” The campaign has been developed by The Packaging Forum in partnership with The Auckland Litter Prevention Steering Group which manages the Be a Tidy Kiwi brand and is supported by many councils around the country and the New Zealand Transport Agency and KiwiRail.

The Packaging Forum has commissioned a detailed analysis of the estimated 295 million hot and cold disposable cups consumed in New Zealand each year to inform a new study into where compostable cups and lids can actually be composted. The work will be carried out by specialist consultancy Beyond the Bin to update its 2015 survey of facilities.
The first recycling bins to be placed around Rotorua Lakes District received a grant of $40,000 from The Packaging Forum’s two voluntary product stewardship schemes following an earlier grant of $60,000 from the Glass Packaging Scheme to support the introduction of glass collections at kerbside.
The Packaging Forum allocated $501,000 in direct funding to support Council, Community and Commercial projects in the year to end June 2016.
