Recycling options for window film installers
In a bid to minimise waste generated by the Australian and New Zealand window film industries, WFAANZ is encouraging tinters to review their recycling plan.
To help, we put together this list of recyclable material types from our distributor members. Once you have the material type of the roll cores and end caps, you can contact your local council to determine your recycling options.
We hope you will join our mission to reduce the carbon footprint of our industry by improving the lifecycle impact of each and every roll of film.
