Recyclable Scheme Products

 

Advance Landscape Systems is the first firm in the landscaping industry to offer to collect and recycle plastic from its customers. We offer a wide selection of biodegradable and sustainable plant guards, but many people prefer plastic guards since they are so versatile and affordable.

As a firm that strives to provide environmentally friendly solutions to its clientele, we stay true to our commitment to sustainability while offering a wide selection of items to meet the needs of all of our customers with our recyclable scheme products.

When biodegradable products are not an option, we offer our clients the service of returning plastic products to us instead of discarding them. We compile these products and send them to our partner, Future Post, where they will undergo Future Post’s recycling process and be transformed into fence posts.

Plant Guard to Post Recycling Scheme

We have a solution!

Advance Landscape Systems are excited to promote our partnership with Future Post, a plastic recycling company turning waste plastic into fence posts.

The Plastic Dilemma

While we pride ourselves in stocking an ever-growing range of biodegradable and sustainable plant guards, many of our customers still prefer to opt for our range of KBC plastic guards which are particularly suited to certain environments and are among the most cost-effective options. We always encourage customers to re-use the guards where possible, however there comes a time when the guard is no longer needed.

With our commitment to providing sustainable options to our customers, the Plastic Question is something we have been pondering for some time as a company. How could we provide a range of product options to suit all customers, while maintaining our sustainability commitment and reducing the environmental impact of our products?

Enter, Future Post.

Future Post are an innovative NZ company that have found a way to recycle domestic and commercial plastic waste, which they use to produce BioGroTM certified fence posts. This has the two-fold benefit of reducing the amount of plastic waste going into landfill, as well as providing an alternative option to treated timber fencing which can cause the leaching of chemicals into the soil and waterways. Future Post offers a partnership program to like-minded companies wanting to provide a recycling option for their plastic products.
 
What this means is that when plants are well established and no longer require protection
from pests and other elements, the KBC plastic guards can now simply be returned to us. Our team will then collate and send the guards to Future Post, to be processed through their recycling facility and manufactured into fence posts. It’s a simple way for us to continue creating a positive environmental and social impact.
Why did we partner with them?
  1. We share similar values.
  2. They are BioGroTM Certified.
  3. There are is no quality requirements for the integrity of the plastic; they can be returned straight from the field without any cleaning requirements.
  4. They are innovative; always looking for a new solution for problem plastic.
  5. They are in the rural sector and not only create fence posts but other products.
How can I join in and recycle my plastic guards?

If you are an Advance customer and wish to take advantage of our new recycling program with Future Post, it’s easy.
