About Us

The Tiny Plastic Factory is a social enterprise founded in 2018 and is based in Wellington City, New Zealand. Our purpose is to accelerate the transition of the New Zealand plastics industry toward a circular economy.


We believe that the use of plastic as a material should be carefully considered and responsibly managed. We create and support circular systems that prioritise the redesign, reduction and reuse of plastic.

The Tiny Plastic Factory is a name that appropriately encapsulates our purpose and operations. It represents our desire to make big change with a small footprint, and also recognises the fact that as a society we can’t recycle our way out of a broken system of single-use and overconsumption by simply building another large industrial factory.
