New recycling programme will divert caps and lids destined for landfill to circular economy

Plastic and metal caps and lids can now be collected and recycled instead of ending up in landfill with the rollout of a new recycling programme.

Collections boxes for a variety of caps and lids are now available in selected New World, PAKā€™nSAVE and Four Square supermarkets in Auckland, Tauranga and Christchurch; and more regions and collection points will be available for Kiwis to drop off their caps and lids in the coming weeks.
