Our Partnership with Future Post
Date: 12 Mar 2020
Author: Hill Laboratories
We are extremely proud to announce our partnership with Future Post and to be part of a drive to sustainably make a difference in our environment with what we do with our waste.
Every day Hill Laboratories receives hundreds of samples from customers around the country, typically in a plastic container such as a bottle or a bag. It can be difficult to recycle these containers because of the labels and residual sample material (e.g. particles of soil, or some water). We partnered with Future Post because they have developed a product and a process that is tolerant of these impurities.
Each month Hill Laboratories supplies Future Post with around 10,000 bottles and 10,000 bags to create durable fence posts with an expected life exceeding 50 years. These are sold back to many of our agricultural customers.
We are proud to be diverting this waste from landfills and we know this is an important step in the right direction for our company, valued by both our staff and our clients.
Future Post was founded in the “time-honoured kiwi way of trying to find an ingenious solution for a challenging problem”, and we are certainly very excited to be on board!
