BioGro, Aotearoa New Zealand's pioneering organic certification agency, proudly announces its 40th anniversary. Since its start in 1983 as the Biological Producers and Consumers Society, BioGro has been at the forefront of the country's organics .
Up until December, the Urutī site accepted oil and gas waste products alongside other compostibles. The lobby group Climate Justice Taranaki, which wants the plant closed down, made the 2019 complaint to the Commerce Commission. Researcher Catherine Chueng said the Revital Group website was giving the impression all its operations are BioGro certified. And the decision from the commission was that there was a possibility that the website could mislead people to think that everything is organic and then actually the commission wrote and talked to the company and warned them that they needed to do things better to make sure there s no chance of misleading the public.
