Beyond the Bin was established in 2015, with seed funding from social enterprise funder Toi Toi Manawa, to find solutions for landfill-destined single use items. We have developed and delivered training workshops on waste minimisation to hundreds of participants, spoken at dozens of events and written many practical resources for industries and local government. In 2016 the Ministry for Environment granted more than $50,000 of funding to Beyond the Bin to turn our training material into short videos, which have become a long-term practical resource for NZ’s events community.

Beyond the Bin have completed research for the packaging industry and facilitated technical advisory groups to further progress and clarity in the space of compostable packaging. 

Beyond the Bin was co-founded by Kim Renshaw and Sam Gray who now work for different organisations, but we hope you’ll enjoy the videos and resources you can access for free here on our site.
