GREEN LOOP:
OUR PVC RECYCLING PROGRAMME

What is our PVC Recycling Programme?

Our Recycling Programme is dedicated to promoting sustainability and reducing waste in our community. By participating, you’ll help divert materials from landfills, conserve natural resources, and support a healthier environment. Together, we can make a significant impact!

This programme encompasses our Foam PVC (Palight and Multiboard), Rigid PVC and Vinyl (PVC-based only) products and plays a pivotal role in waste management for both PVC and customers alike. This program is nationwide and features a product return system, where offcuts and printed PVC can be returned and will be recycled into future products.

How our PVC recycling programme works:

1) Obtain and fill the recycling bag with MTB, PAL or rigid PVC (MTB and PAL can be in the same bags, rigid PVC will need to be separate)* – no wider than 350mm.
2) Bags must be labelled with product name, PSP branch or customer and date.
3) Contact your local PSP representative and we will collect the bags.**

* Product can have masking/ vinyl as long as it is PVC. 
** It is important that only PSP product is in the recycling bags. PSP have had our product tested to ensure recycling standards are met.

Bags can be purchased from PSP – pricing below:

- Auckland - $54.50
- Hamilton - $67.50
- Wellington - $82.81
- Christchurch - $136.10

OUR CERTIFICATIONS
& QUALITY MANAGEMENT

Toitū Enviromark Bronze certification

The Toitū Enviromark programme assists us in implementing an effective Environmental Management System (EMS) to identify, manage, and reduce our environmental impacts. The Bronze certification represents the first step in this journey!

Achieving the Toitū Enviromark Bronze certification is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone at PSP. It underscores our commitment to sustainability and sets a strong foundation for ongoing efforts. This is also a stepping stone towards our goal of achieving the Gold certification where we will start making waves with targeted voluntary improvements!

Our key achievements in the Toitū Enviromark Bronze certification include:

‍Scoping Our EMS: Our EMS identifies the significant environmental impacts of our operations. This involved determining which parts of our organisation are covered by the EMS and provides clear, justified reasons for any exclusions.
‍
‍Compliance with NZ Legislation: We have ensured that our operations comply with all applicable New Zealand health, safety, and environmental legislation.
‍
‍Targeted Environmental Controls: Our EMS includes targeted measures to manage and mitigate our most significant environmental impacts effectively. For example, managing our obligations to the priority product stewardship under the Waste Minimisation Act 2008.
