At Forward Plastics, we’re proud to make packaging from New Zealand Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic, sourced from kerbside-collected milk bottles. This homegrown recycling loop is one of the most effective ways to reduce waste and build a circular economy.
Closing the Loop
Everyday milk bottles collected through New Zealand’s kerbside recycling are cleaned, processed, and turned into high-quality PCR resin. We use this resin to manufacture new bottles and containers, giving plastic a second life instead of sending it to landfill.
Lower Carbon Footprint
Using recycled plastic packaging reduces reliance on virgin fossil-fuel based resins. Choosing PCR helps businesses lower their carbon footprint and meet sustainability goals.
Supporting Local Recycling
By using PCR made from New Zealand milk bottles, brands support local recycling infrastructure, keep value in the New Zealand economy, and create demand that drives continuous improvement in our waste recovery systems.
Meeting Customer Expectations
More Kiwis are demanding sustainable packaging. PCR bottles and containers show your customers you care about the environment, while also helping your business stay ahead of market trends.
Forward Plastics: Making PCR the New Normal
We’re committed to leading the way with sustainable plastic packaging. By transforming New Zealand’s kerbside milk bottles into new PCR bottles and containers, we’re helping to close the loop and protect the environment.
