Demystifying packaging Choices – Competition Time

Is all this packaging something you can trust?

send it to us, we want to know!
Now’s your chance to to have your say,
get looking for packaging today!!!

The world of packaging is a crazy confusing place sometimes, over
packaging, non-recyclable packaging, packaging that says it’s
environmentally friendly but really isn’t, one hit wonder non
re-usable packaging, and then just sometimes, you stumble on something that hits the nail on the head.
We at Wanaka Wastebusters are running a fantastic competition to find out exactly what are the best and worst examples of packaging we can find in New Zealand and we need your help.
We want you to find examples of what you think is the best and the worst.
The 6 categories to keep in mind when looking at packaging are
Is it recyclable?
Is it reusable?
Does it do the job it is designed for?
How is the volume of packaging – minimal/excessive?
Is it innovative?
Is the label truthful and informative?

Check out our very exciting new website active from Feb 1st –
