SUSTAINABILITY
NZ Panels Group is working hard to reduce its environmental impact right across the business.
We have a clear brief to reduce waste and energy usage, increase recycling, and ensure our materials are sourced from those who align with our sustainability goals.
We only use electricity from 100% renewable resources and every production site is constantly looking and finding innovative ways to re-use, reduce or recycle waste. In recent years we have made significant reductions in waste and energy use and are setting stretch targets to keep us focused on more sustainable production.
