Future Post

It was a pleasure to have several MP’s representing 3 different political parties in conjunction with local and central government officials come through our Blenheim plant recently. The visitors got to see first-hand what happens to the waste plastic we receive and view the process of converting rubbish (usually destined for landfill) into strong and durable posts, sleepers and rails. One of the great things about our new factory being in Marlborough is we are able to utilise waste plastic from local vineyards, to recycle into viticulture posts to be used locally. True circular economy in our own backyard.

Thank you Pukekohe Hill School!!! When it comes to recycling plastic there exists a degree of trepidation with regards to where it actually goes and ultimately what happens to it. Future Post receives waste plastic from a number of valued commercial partners and also via a huge number of highly engaged consumers who willingly separate their applicable soft plastics and deposit them through the soft plastic bins which are found at the front of many supermarkets and provided by the The Packaging Forum. Without the support of these partners we simply couldn't produce posts and rails. We are always looking for opportunities to build awareness around the importance of recycling and also to highlight what we use the waste plastic feed stock to make - great quality post and rails. It really was a highlight to go to Pukekohe Hill School last week where they have put up a section of Future Post post and rail fencing to highlight to the children how their waste plastic is used at Future Post - the response from the children around how much waste plastic was in their fence was heart warming. Question - are you comfortable with what happens to material you recycle? #recycle #sustainability #futurepost #wasteplastic #school #education #awareness

At Future Post we collect waste plastic and recycle it to produce quality posts, rails and even garden beds. This is made possible through the support of key partners who are committed to sustainability like the Warehouse and the Packaging Forum who are prepared to walk the talk and supply us with the right types of waste plastics to keep Future Post running while significantly reducing the amount of waste plastic that ends up in landfills. A huge thanks to the team at the Warehouse, the Packaging Forum and to all of our partners making the effort to supply us with waste plastic - we simply couldn't do it without you!!!

More than 85% of New Zealand’s exports by value are going to countries with environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting requirements. ESG regulations are rapidly coming into force internationally and this is likely to continue to increase. To continue to meet these requirements and succeed offshore, Kiwi businesses need to be market ready. Our Business for Good programme supports companies on their sustainability journey giving them the tools they need. This week we ran workshops with a range of businesses supported by Sharesies, Chapman Tripp, Peoples Coffee Limited, Goodnature and Kowtow Clothing.

Great to see this very smart Himatangi coastal Future Post fence - installed last year by the local Palmerston North DOC rangers to protect the dunes from vehicle entry and further erosion. Department of Conservation (DOC)

Citycare Property have just completed a significant project at Massey Park, Waiuku which included the replacement of a large number of rotting wooden bollards with Future Post bollards - as the before and after pictures show the Future Post bollards look fantastic and will not rot or split. Additionally the waste plastic utilised in the bollards is the plastic weight equivalent of a whopping 76,000 milk bottles and 336,000 plastic bags which has been diverted from landfill! Know any other locations that could do with a bollard upgrade 😉

Pictured is an amazing young man Zac Marsh who has harnessed his desire to make a difference to the planet coupled with a good dose of entrepreneurial spirit and created a soft plastic collection and recycling run. Zac rides his bike around Te Anau, collects the soft plastic and returns it to us at Future Post - there is so much to like about this!!! He deserves a huge pat on the back for this on so many levels and we will use the plastic he collects to make Future Posts and rails. His website for anyone in the Te Anau area: https://lnkd.in/gDq6Ez5C Thanks so much for your support Zac what an awesome thing to do

Wondering what to do with your plastic waste? LANDSCAPE. No painting, No maintenance, No rot, No nasty chemicals. Each post finds a new home for approximately 250 milk bottles and 1100 bread bags. 

Looking for an awesome retaining wall solution? You don’t need to be a Farmer, a large four-legged animal owner, or a grower of wine to use Future Post products. Here is a fantastic looking retaining wall which has been constructed using Future Post square posts and rails. It looks great right now and will continue to do so for decades without painting or maintenance. Loving the way this area has been put together to follow the contour and create space for gardens to finish things off - a premium retaining solution to an amazing house. The plastic weight that has been diverted from landfill for this construction is a whopping 162,000 milk bottles and 650,000 bread bags!!!
