Monique Kelly, Co-Founder and Program Director at Wao, featured on Radio Wānaka to discuss the problem with construction waste, and the upcoming workshops to deal with it at the Wao Summit 2021 (26-31 October).

The construction and demolition (C&D) industry is one of the largest waste producing industries in New Zealand. It is estimated that C&D waste may represent up to 50% of all waste generated in New Zealand.

It is estimated that by 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Plastics are everywhere, from the bottom of the deepest sea trench to beaches around New Zealand. As we come to the end of Plastic Free July, we thought it would be good to take a closer look at the problem of plastics.
