About 5R Solutions

Established in 2009, 5R Solutions specialises in window glass recovery in New Zealand. Our focus is to deliver solutions that exceed our customers expectations in both service and operational efficiencies.

5R Solutions is a New Zealand based company specialising in window glass recovery. Since beginning in September 2009, 5R Solutions have experienced significant growth.

We have two processing sites located in Auckland and Christchurch, where we are moving and processing tens of thousands of tonnes of glass each year.  

We are involved in the design and manufacture of the plant and equipment that is used in our operations. Currently our generation 3 processing equipment is capable of processing the full spectrum of waste flat glass that is generated by commercial and post-consumer markets. We have a fully developed in-house supply chain management for the collection of waste glass and delivery of end products. We work closely with our customers to ensure that the best solutions are provided for their needs.

Glass Diversification

At 5R, we are passionately committed to creating a truly sustainable future by ensuring that every single piece of recycled glass finds new life within a thriving circular economy. Our vision extends beyond simply recycling - we aim to transform glass waste into valuable resources that continually circulate through production cycles, reducing environmental impact and conserving natural resources. Glass is one of the only resources we have that is almost infinitely recyclable.

From the very first stage of collection and processing, through to innovative repurposing, we strive to close the loop completely. This means no glass goes to landfill instead, it is carefully sorted, refined, and reincorporated into new products, packaging, or construction materials.

By diversifying the applications of recycled glass, we unlock its immense potential across industries, fostering economic growth while nurturing the planet. Our dedication to innovation, quality, and collaboration ensures that 100% of recycled glass is not just reused, but reimagined - helping to build a cleaner, greener, and more resilient future for generations to come.
