EcoSolutions is one of CBEC's enterprises which provides waste minimisation education throughout Northland.
EcoSolutions was formed over 17 years ago as a community environmental hub that provided advice on minimising waste and protecting the local environment from activities that cause pollution and degradation.
EcoSolutions focus is waste minimisation education and implementing behaviour change towards how we perceive and deal with waste in our homes, our businesses and the local community. Waste minimisation programmes are delivered to schools, businesses and community groups in an effort to divert waste from going to landfill.
We educate business and the community on how much of what is going to landfills is a potential resource that could otherwise be re used, recycled or repurposed.
