OUR SERVICES

We support our partners to increase their regenerative impact by providing local solutions to global issues.

WASTE MINIMISATION IN SCHOOLS

Why Waste Inspire Change is a community project proposing to deliver waste minimisation education and solutions in 6 pilot schools by directly involving tamariki in setting up tangible waste solutions for biodegradable waste (one third of our waste stream in the Bay of Plenty).

SUSTAINABILITY consult for events

It’s important for events with a strong kaupapa of kaitiakitanga (values around environmental responsibility) to invest in standing by these values - that’s where we come in. With over a decade of event experience, we collaborate on event activations in several capacities year-round.

SUSTAINABILITY CONSULT FOR HOME

Looking to reduce your ecological footprint at home? It helps to have a professional do the job. Get site specific recommendations, empowering solutions and have any questions answered by our low impact living specialist.

SUSTAINABILITY CONSULT FOR BUSINESS

We believe that some of the greatest impacts will come from businesses recognising their ecological responsibility - paired with the ability to make decisions effectively, driven by market preferences driving ethical business choices. Enabling this transition is a huge priority for Why Waste.
