Green Directory

 

Want to be greener but don’t know where to go to make a start?

Here we give you a few pointers on sources of greener products and services.

We need your help to create a regional green products and services directory. If you own an eco-business within the boundaries of our region or retail an eco-product and would like to be a part of this directory please send a short business listing to info@greenrig.co.nz.

Foxton Fizz (1918) Ltd – purveyors of  the fizz round here!

Locally owned and operated, Foxton Fizz is made from Foxton’s very own town supply bore water with a bunch of secret ingredients that make it taste great (Cocktail, Lime, Kola, Creaming Soda etc). Largely supplying commercial operators from their factory in Whyte Street, Foxton - the fizzmeisters deliver within the Wellington, Manawatu and Horowhenua areas. Moving away from resource-hungry plastic bottles and back to glass bottles means they are doing their bit to reduce their product’s footprint. As well as being great to drink from, their bottles (delivered in retro wooden crates) are returnable, and re-used time and time again.
