About Localised

Localised is the commercial arm of the Zero Waste Network - a network that has over 120 members working in the resource recovery sector throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. 

We are working to increase the number of community-led resource recovery enterprises and projects operating across Aotearoa.

In doing so, we are providing capability development to local community organisations by sharing our knowledge and skills, and walking alongside rather than just being advisors or mentors.

As zero waste joint venture partners we are focused on unlocking solutions. We are happy to work with anyone when our values align including councils, central government, waste companies, consulting firms, and community enterprises.

We’re continually exploring new opportunities where we can make a positive impact and assess potential projects on the following criteria: 

  • We are invited by local individuals or organisations to work in their community

  • The project generates a positive financial return to Localised

  • We believe the project, and our involvement, will have a positive impact

  • Our values are aligned with the people we will be working with.
