Driving Sustainability and Community Impact with EcoMatters

EcoMatters is a hub of localism, providing sustainable job opportunities and fostering strong community connections.

Shannon Otene, the Logistics & Operations Supervisor at EcoMatters, shared her journey:
"I started as a driver collecting recycling from salons, and now I oversee the entire depot. My favorite part is sharing Sustainable Salons’ story with our volunteers—they’re amazed by how much waste we save from landfill. It’s inspiring to see how sustainability can make such a tangible difference in our communities."

Together with EcoMatters, we’re creating a brighter, more sustainable future for communities across Aotearoa New Zealand. Every item you recycle contributes to local jobs, education, and a shared commitment to protecting our environment. Thank you for being an essential part of this journey and making a real difference where it matters most.
