Our vision is to be a leader in developing innovative recycling solutions and alloys.
We want to deliver more to our customers and the environment through our metal and polymer recycling and by creating highly fit-for-purpose, certified alloys and polymer pellets to industry.
Environmental sustainability underpins all our operations. We have a strong focus on innovating new ways to recycle material. We are the oldest metals recycling company in New Zealand. We enjoy looking at difficult projects where the products are not easily recyclable, then working with the client to develop a recycling solution, diverting it from landfill.
