After 12 months of trials, research and development, we have successfully managed to recycle them into our bar chairs.
A solution for one of the biggest areas of plastic waste for NZ hotels.
STRONG AND MIGHTY
The used shampoo, conditioner and soap bottles from the hotels and resorts are cleaned, dried and ground up. They are then mixed into our recycled material used for our ground chairs and processed through our injection moulding machines into bar chairs.
Don’t worry, our chairs are still super strong! This process actually enhances the strength and durability of our bar chairs. Initial testing has achieved enhanced strength of over 3 x the already impressive current load ratings.

WHAT IS A WEKA?
New Zealand has a unique native flightless bird known for its furtive curiosity. Scurrying around picking up scraps and rubbish to build new things. The Hotel Weka’s unique recycling service for hotels is similar; picking up scraps and making them into something new and useful.
