Solving the problem of construction made easy with our Tradie Recycle solutions
For every tonne of wood waste that ends up in landfill, 1 tonne of carbon emission is created.
Marsden Metals Group the company that owns the Marsden Waste and tradie bag initiative in New Zealand is committed to making it easy for our construction customers to reduce their carbon emissions through sorting their waste on site.
From initial idea, to research, product development and customer trials we have spent 3 years finding a solution for construction waste reduction.
