Site Visit: Purpose Fill – Rethinking Construction Waste

Did you know that construction waste accounts for 25–40% of landfill in New Zealand? Purpose Fill is turning that statistic on its head with an innovative waste management operation that sorts, separates, and recovers the majority of materials it handles—giving new life to what was once destined for the dump.

To mark construction waste week, Join us for an exclusive tour of Purpose Fill’s sorting facility and see firsthand how they’re transforming the future of construction waste. Discover the systems, stories, and sustainability behind their mission to flip the script on waste.

Note: We’ll kick off promptly at 12:30, to stick to the lunch time schedule.

Safety requirements: Hi-vis gear and closed-in footwear are required for this visit.

Following the site visit, several Waikato committee members will be heading to Lykke Café on Greenwood Street—you're warmly invited to join us for a relaxed coffee catch-up.
