About Us
Remix Plastic recycles plastic into beautiful, unique products. With local waste we create products inspired by native plants and animals that have a sustainable story. This diverts waste from landfill and provides a way to engage people in a conversation around reducing single use plastic. We embed concepts like kaitiakitanga and circular economy into works.
The vision of Remix Plastic is to foster sustainable behaviour and a circular economy.
