Fence posts made of recycled plastics are popping up at a Blenheim landfill, coming full circle for the project conceived on an old rubbish site. Future Post founder Jerome Wenzlick was fencing on an old landfill site, having broken several wooden posts on buried plastic waste, when he wondered if the stubborn plastic could be reused as posts. A few years later, a few hundred recycled plastic posts are being used for a boundary fence at Blenheim’s Bluegums Landfill, along with a few hundred more in the nearby Wither Hills Farm Park.
