Fencing your waterways Sustainably - Introducing Repost.

Sustainable partnerships. 

When we think of Sustainability in today's economic climate, it can sometimes  feel unattainable. Sustaina Grow has always, and will always be on a mission to find that sweet spot where sustainability meets commercial viability. 

In our search for this sweet spot, we realised creating strong relationships with other sustainable businesses was paramount. 

When we met the team at Repost (https://www.repost.co.nz) we knew we wanted to know them more. It only made sense, and when it comes to sustainability on a commercial level, you have to make things make sense!

Fencing off and planting up waterways is a project that's been adopted nationwide. Doing this  sustainably is a critical step in enhancing water quality and protecting ecosystems.
Repost, a pioneering company specialising in recycled timber solutions. 

When it comes to fencing off waterways, using sustainable materials is essential. Repost's fencing posts, crafted from upcycled viticulture posts, offer a brilliant second life solution that not only minimizes waste but also reduces the environmental impact of timber production. By choosing Repost fencing posts, you are not only getting a great deal but contributing to the circular economy by giving timber a new lease on life.

Once the waterways have been fenced off, they still need to be planted up. The choice of material here is vital. Using plastic tree guards, or imported bio material such as jute or coco fibre isn't ideal for our waterways as it can pose biodiversity risks. By using Sustaina Grow wool for planting, you are not only harnessing the natural benefits of wool, such as moisture retention and biodegradability but also supporting ethical and sustainable farming practices and supporting better farm gate returns for sheep farmers. 

If you are considering fencing of waterways any time soon, chat to the team at Repost or Sustaina Grow to find out how you can do this in the most Sustainable, cost effective way.
