At Redox, we are committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. As part of our ongoing efforts to minimise our environmental impact, we are proud to announce that starting March 2025, we have joined Agrecovery to provide a sustainable solution for recycling our product packaging.
About Agrecovery
Agrecovery is a not-for-profit charitable trust that offers New Zealand farmers and growers nationwide programmes for the responsible disposal of unwanted agrichemicals and the recycling of empty containers, drums, IBCs, and small seed, feed, and fertiliser bags. Their mission is to promote sustainable practices and improve environmental outcomes for rural communities by ensuring farm plastics are properly recovered, recycled, and reused.
What is Product Stewardship?
Product Stewardship is a proactive approach where manufacturers, brand owners, importers, and retailers take responsibility for reducing the environmental impact of their products. This extends beyond recycling—it encompasses the entire lifecycle of a product, from its design and use to its eventual disposal.
By embracing a circular economy model rather than a linear “make, take, and waste” approach, we can significantly reduce waste. Redox has committed to this initiative by supporting Agrecovery’s voluntary Product Stewardship Scheme, ensuring our packaging is collected and recycled in an environmentally responsible manner.

Through our membership with Agrecovery, we are pleased to offer a more sustainable solution for our customers. Eligible customers can now return certain Redox bags for recycling through Agrecovery’s Small Bags Programme.
