plastic2eco Bumper Repurposing Programme
MTA and CRA have launched the groundbreaking initiative plastic2eco bumper repurposing programme. The plastic2eco repurposing initiative is aimed at promoting sustainability and reducing landfill waste through the re-purposing of vehicle plastic parts.
MTA and CRA have launched a groundbreaking initiative - the plastic2eco re-purposing programme.
Since November 2022, MTA has been working on a viable closed loop solution to divert the over 100,000 bumpers that end up in landfill every year. The plastic2eco repurposing initiative is aimed at promoting sustainability and reducing landfill waste through the re-purposing of vehicle plastic parts.
Those who participate will help protect our precious NZ ecosystems and lower the carbon footprint from waste disposal and contribute to the New Zealand circular economy.
The initial project launched in late March 2025 with waste bumpers and inner guard liners being collected from the southern and eastern suburbs of Auckland - Onehunga, Penrose and Mount Wellington south. This was closely followed by Hamilton, New Plymouth and the northern and western suburbs of Auckland and then strategically rolled out across the North Island during late 2025 and early 2026 before reaching the South Island around mid-2026.
