given the reduction in the quality of the
plastic, mainly from the exposure to varying weather conditions.
The issues with recycling mixed plastic is not unique to Taranaki. A number of councils have
made the decision to reduce the range of plastic types accepted as part of kerbside services.
Of the 67 councils in New Zealand, about 55% do not accept plastic types 3, 4, 6, or 7. About
70% of councils accept type 5 plastics and all councils accept type 1 and 2 plastics. …

The results show a consistently clean discharge. Maximum values for hydrocarbons, and suspended solids
were below the consent limits throughout the period under review. The pH was within the acceptable range
in the majority of samples, with the exception of
should include a suite of nutrients including nitrogen
(total nitrogen, available nitrogen) and phosphorus (Olsen
phosphorus) as a minimum. Soil pH influences the availability or
mobility of contaminants in the soil and should be routinely
monitored. I consider that monitoring of these parameters should
be included as a condition of consent.
SITE NUTRIENT BALANCE
67 There are a number of potential sources of contaminants from
activities at the RNZ site. Mr Kay provides an
term. Of note, in 2017, average rents were
cheaper than for comparative cities (this has not always been the case).
