The Better Cone Recycling Programme is where your old road cones are diverted from landfill and into the RTL Better Cone, that is proudly manufactured right here in New Zealand using recycled cone material.

Tradies and DIY enthusiasts are being encouraged to give their used plaster buckets a second chance beyond the landfill in a new Waipā initiative launched in time for Recycling Week.
