Textile Reuse Programme - Te Aro
About Textile Reuse Programme
Our collaboration with Scion, WSP NZ, NZ Transport Agency and the Ministry for the Environment converted textile fibres into a product for roading construction called StrengthTex. Currently cellulose is imported as an additive into our roads, meanwhile we have so much cellulose going to waste in New Zealand in the form of used cotton clothing, sheeting and towels. By using this source of cellulose not only can we reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and create a product that is fit for purpose on New Zealand roads, we can also reduce the carbon impacts of shipping cellulose from across the world. The first trial using StrengthTex occured in May 2022, on a section of road between Ghuznee and Buller streets in Wellington.
