Green Loop
Our Green Loop programme is a food waste collection service for Taranaki businesses. Green Loop collects food waste using a simple and easy process, then it travels to local farms to ferment and become nutrient dense soil innoculant. Compost is returned to the land, supporting development of a circular business model.
