End of an Era - Zerowaste Trust Closure
ZWNZ Trust with regret ceased to exist in early 2010.
ZWNZ Trust has been in existance for 13 years - it has introduced the idea of zero waste to many and has influenced many New Zealand councils to aim for zero waste.
The concept is finally fixed in New Zealanders brains - it is now for us all to pick up on those ideas and work to get them implemented in this carbon constrained world.
Zero Waste New Zealand Limited remains as a charitable company to assist people with the implementation of Zero Waste.
The Trust would like to thank it's funders, trustees, and employees who have helped make an impact on New Zealand's environmental awareness.
This website will live on. Discussions are underway to ensure hosting and redevelopment.
