The Repurpose Project is our way of ensuring that whenever possible, we can minimise waste on our renovation projects by repurposing various items like kitchens, bathrooms, doors, timber and more.
Construction and demolition waste in New Zealand accounts for 40-50% of the total waste going to landfill. Each new home constructed generates approximately 4 tonnes of waste, with countless tonnes also hitting the landfill from renovation projects also. It's only right that we do as much as we can to minimise this impact, and we are thrilled to have launched The Repurpose Project to allow us to start making a real difference.
The Repurpose Project enables us to advertise all products we have available (via its own FB page) and when needed, the items are also listed on Trade Me to allow for greater reach for those looking to secure a fantastic second-hand bargain.
All proceeds generated from the sale of these items are then distributed to local charitable organisations within our local Franklin region.
These two kitchen raised over $1000 for charity donations. We've got plenty more to come, keep an eye on The Repurpose Project to keep up to date with our progress.
