In 2023 the Ministry commissioned Eunomia Research & Consulting, Whetū Consulting Group and Massey University to examine issues related to the presence of contaminants in organic waste material streams.
The project aimed to understand and address the challenges posed by contaminants in our organic waste material streams to mitigate risks to soil, human and animal health and expand end markets for processed organic waste.
This recommendations report is one of four reports that summarise the project’s key findings.
The report provides a long list and a prioritised list of recommended actions for reducing contamination in organic material streams and increasing the value of processed organic waste.
The recommendations in this report were informed by feedback received from a Technical Advisory Group composed of stakeholders from across the organic materials sector.
