A new facility near Huntly will process more than 60 tonnes of construction waste per hour, aiming to divert over 100,000 tonnes of construction waste from landfill.
Building researchers BRANZ say typically 40 to 50 per cent of all construction waste goes to landfill.
The $16 million Green Gorilla facility in Rotowaro opened this week.
The project was co-funded by a $4 million grant from the Ministry for the Environment’s Waste Minimisation Fund.
The facility will be taking waste from South Auckland, Waikato, Thames-Coromandel, and the Bay of Plenty.
Green Gorilla chief executive is Elaine Morgan.
