  • Each New Zealander consumes approximately 31 kg of plastic packaging per year and recycles 5.58kg (MfE, 2002).
  • Over 60% of New Zealanders have access to community recycling and this is rapidly growing (MfE, 2002).
  • The Government aims for 95% of the population to have access to recycling facilities by 2005 (MfE,2002).
  • Plastic recycling has more than doubled over the last 5 years (PNZ, 2002).
  • In 2002 New Zealanders recycled 30,190 tonnes of plastic (PNZ, 2003).
  • 25-30% of PET (1) and HDPE (2) packaging produced in NZ is recovered (PNZ, 2002).
  • Our plastic packaging recycling rate (18%) is comparable with Australia (17%) and with most European countries which range from 7% to 22%. Germany (31.1%) and Ireland (3%) are at the extreme.
