Recycling at CourierPost
As part of our commitment to the environment, CourierPost is helping to minimise the impact of waste products. That’s why our Trackpak range is fully recyclable.
We encourage all of our customers, both big and small, to recycle your Trackpaks rather than throw them away.
BackTrack Your Trackpaks
- If you’re a frequent user of our plastic Trackpaks, just ask your local CourierPost courier to provide you with one of our large (reusable) drawstring bags to store all your used Trackpaks. Your courier will collect them when calling into your premises.
- Or you can drop your used Trackpaks into one of our specially marked recycling bags at any CourierPost branch.
What we do with the used packaging
CourierPost has partnered with leading New Zealand plastics recycling company, Astron Plastics, to recycle on our behalf.
Used Trackpaks are collected from all CourierPost branches nationwide and delivered to Astron Plastics recycling plants in Auckland and Christchurch.
The proceeds from our recycled plastic go to CourierPost's nominated charity.

Reduced resin levels
In February 2007, CourierPost successfully reduced the amount of resin oil used to produce our Trackpaks by almost 25%. This initiative equates to a saving of approximately 200 barrels of crude oil each year.
We also offer a full range of eco packs which are made from 100% recycled materials, click here to find out more.
