Even though milk bottle lids are made of a recyclable plastic, coloured plastic is not desirable by commercial recyclers, and lids are too small to go through the commercial recycling process. Our Precious Plastic Project, recycles these lids and turns them into new products – Find out more here.
Ruru is also made with repurposed fabric, 220,000 tonnes of textile waste ends up in landfills each year, too much for Op-shops to handle! Many of these items can still be brand new or barely worn, fast fashion at its worst!
Save those products from landfill and help support our in-school education programmes to educate the next generation about waste and recycling!
