Glass has a great sustainability story and we want to help everyone spread the message. We’ve created a number of resources to help you tell the infinitely recyclable story of glass as well as how you are part of the solution.
As a product stewardship scheme accredited by the Ministry for the Environment, we publish a report of our activities and results each year.
We are exploring what mandatory stewardship for glass could look like and what it could achieve in terms of recovery and recycling rates, and emissions reduction
From time to time we publish or commission other reports
We contribute to consultations on government policy, initiatives and legislation that relate to the life cycle of container glass
Video is a great way to tell a story, so we created these to talk about glass recycling in New Zealand, the benefits, and what part our members play. You can also view our grant allocation videos, which we create alongside funding recipients and are regularly updated.
If you would like a copy of any of these videos feel free to get in touch, otherwise feel free to link to any of them here.

The story of glass
Good things happen
Funding grants which mean less glass is lost to landfill and more is recycled is a key focus of the GPF. These maps indicated in which regions and districts we have funded projects so far.
We have also created a map which indicates the different collection methods employed by councils and contractors around the country to collect glass for recycling or alternative use.
These maps, which are freely downloadable, are regularly updated to reflect the latest information.
