Plan out the waste. Nail the build.

27 October - 2 November 2025 marked the first ever Construction Waste Week in Aotearoa! We encouraged the public to learn more about the scale of construction waste and hear some great stories of organisations minimising construction waste to landfill.

This year's theme was - Plan out the waste. Nail the build.

Check out the campaign toolkit here and keep next year's dates in mind!
