Sustainable Waste Management to let Mother Nature thrive
RECYCLING:
THE RAWHITI WAY
Green Electricity
We are working towards an on-site electricity plant fueled entirely by methane, with enough power to run the entire park and - during summer - provide electricity to the national grid.
Fresh water Improvement
We are working with innovative engineering specialists to develop systems that remove Nitrogen and other elements from our wastewater. This neutralizes our impact on local rivers, so they may remain healthy for future generations.
Industrial Waste Recovery
Partnering with large food manufacturers to take in their processing waste and keep it out of the land-fill. These waste products otherwise get spread onto paddocks or sent to dump sites, where they can get into water bodies and contribute to eutrophication.
Community Initiatives
As a socially-conscious organisation, we support local initiatives, community groups, sports teams, schools, maraes, and charitable causes. We believe that a circular economy doesn't just apply in a physical sense, but also in monetary and spiritual manners too.

What the community
has to say:
"Demonstrating circularity by using decomposed waste and farm manure to produce the electricity that powers your site is an elegant solution. This project is one that should soon be replicated elsewhere in NZ."

"Your project has added value in converting 100% of the waste streams into useful product and therefore adopting the Circular Economy philosophy."
