Sustainability and Climate Change

Our Purpose: To help industry preserve natural resources for future generations.

Our Journey

5R Solutions is embarking on its journey to embed environmental responsibility across wider industry. Our strategic challenge is to integrate responsible practices throughout our operations in a way that is aspirational in terms of resource recovery. We also want to influence the glass industry to adopt similar approaches.

At 5R Solutions, care for the environment is at the heart of everything we do. Based in New Zealand, we recognise our responsibility to protect and preserve our planet for future generations. Our commitment to reducing waste and leading in resource recovery is not just a goal; it’s a core part of our mission to set the standard in responsible resource management.

Our Commitment

We believe that real progress comes from integrating sustainable practices into every step of our operations. From sourcing and recycling materials to innovating new solutions, we work tirelessly to minimise environmental impact, and reduce waste. Our vision is to create a circular economy where materials are kept in use for as long as possible, dramatically reducing the need for virgin resources and harmful disposal methods.

Climate Change in New Zealand and Beyond

At 5R Solutions, we see the effects of a changing climate as a call to work smarter with the resources we have. Our focus is on solutions that reduce waste, use materials more efficiently, and keep valuable resources in circulation.

Here’s how we make a difference:

• Keeping materials in use - recycling glass and other materials so they can have a second life

• Working with others - teaming up with businesses, councils, and communities to tackle waste together

• Finding better ways - exploring new ideas and technology that help us reduce impact and improve recovery rates

We believe that practical, everyday actions add up to meaningful change - for our customers, for our communities, and for the environment we all share.

Driving a Circular Economy

Central to our sustainability ethos is the circular economy - a model that rethinks waste as a valuable resource. By diverting glass and other recyclable materials from landfill, we contribute to conserving natural resources and reducing pollution. Our efforts help New Zealand move towards a more sustainable future by enabling industries to use recycled inputs without compromising quality or performance.
