About Airlyte
Owners Grant and Lesley saw the need to reduce the waste going to our landfills. Northland businesses alone generate more than 5000 tonnes of waste corrugated cardboard. Although we are only processing a fraction of New Zealand’s waste cardboard, it’s great to be part of a local solution to what is really an international problem.
The cardboard is stripped of tape and staples, then “cross-shredded” into approximately 15mm pieces, dust is removed and it is packaged into 100L Bags (approx 18-20kg). We are told that the inks used on most packaging is now vegetable based as required by the printing industry. Our packaging bags are “Soft Plastic Recyclable” - LDPE #4 or can be returned to us for re-use or can be re-used by the customer.
TESTIMONIAL
“I was thrilled when we came across AIRLYTE.” Nov 2021
“We moved onto a spray free property a few years ago which we are managing based on permaculture principals as much as possible. We have two chook flocks and we started using Airlyte for our egg laying Hylines flock. They are fantastic daily egg layers, but we found their coup nesting boxes were getting messy resulting in extra labour.
I was thrilled when we came across Airlyte about 6 months ago (Nov 2021)- it keeps our nesting boxes (Up-cylced drawers!) much cleaner than the straw, which became very damp and messy!
It saves our straw for edible purposes for our other livestock, and it supports our values of trying to re-use and repurpose materials from within our own community.
When the hens are done with it, I refresh the nesting boxes with clean Airlyte, I simply add the used Airlyte it to the vege gardens as the worms love it - and it's rich with chook manure to feed our veges!!
It's a great renewable system & now we enjoy clean fresh eggs straight to the kitchen bench. How good is that?! 😊”
