Geoff Gibson is the Regional Construction & Demolition waste minimisation lead employed by the Napier City and Hastings District Councils to reduce the volume of construction waste going to landfill.
Through a collaborative approach with Winstone Wallboards, local building merchants, and industry, a very successful first of its kind plasterboard recycling trial is underway in Hawkes Bay.
