A major New Zealand plant-based manufacturer and brand has found a creative way to repurpose the drums it uses to create its products.
Raglan Food Co has incorporated its ethos of reducing, reusing, and recycling through its new waste management technique.
Tesh Randall, the Co-Founder of Raglan Food Co, shared that the brand's lead engineer, Dave Stoof, had innovated a creative method of converting the company's empty coconut cream drums into braziers.
Each remade drum into a brazier has a Pōhutukawa design as an acknowledgment and ode to the Pōhutukawa trees surrounding Raglan. Raglan Food Co has created a new brand aptly named Reforged for this new venture.
The new brand has created two new jobs for welders and fabricators to join the Raglan team, which Randall hopes will lead to developing other valuable products that give the company's drums a second life.
"We were thrilled when Bunnings agreed to range our Pōhutukawa Ring Brazier in 27 of their Bunnings Warehouse stores nationwide," shared Randall.
These Reforged designs are now available on Bunnings Warehouse shelves.
