By recycling steel, aluminium, titanium, carbon, plastics, rubber and battery materials, or redeploying PTVs for another life, riders avoid waste to landfill, conserve natural resources and minimise greenhouse emissions.
In doing so, also wants to provide employment opportunities for people from disadvantaged or disabled backgrounds. For us, it’s part of being part of a more sustainable and kinder community.
