5R Opens New Auckland Facility: Marking a Major Step in Our Sustainable Future

We recently celebrated the official opening of our new Auckland facility, an important milestone in 5R’s ongoing commitment to building resilient, future‑focused infrastructure for Aotearoa’s resource recovery sector.

Purpose‑built to support our long‑term vision, the new facility incorporates a range of sustainability features, including a solar array and rainwater harvesting systems. These elements reflect not only how we operate today, but the direction we are taking as a business: investing in smarter, more sustainable ways to recover valuable materials and reduce waste.

The opening was proudly officiated by the Honorable Chris Penk, alongside Martin Cooper, Kaumatua of Tainui Waka, and Auckland Councillor Alf Filipaina. We were honoured by their presence and grateful for their support of the work being done within New Zealand’s circular economy.

It was also a pleasure to welcome many of our long‑standing customers and suppliers to the event. Their continued partnership has played a vital role in 5R’s journey, and the opening provided a valuable opportunity to reflect on shared progress and future opportunities together.

A special acknowledgement goes to Brent Nicholls and the Pascoe Group, who have become the first tenant in this new development. Their support has been instrumental in bringing this project to life, and we look forward to a strong relationship as the site continues to grow and evolve.

Above all, we extend our sincere thanks to the 5R team. From planning to delivery, their professionalism and commitment ensured the event was executed to an exceptionally high standard. The opening of the Auckland facility stands as a testament to their dedication and to the collective effort behind everything we do at 5R.

This new facility represents more than a building; it is a symbol of progress, partnership, and our continued focus on delivering practical, sustainable solutions for New Zealand.
