Better Cone Recycling Programme

The Better Cone Recycling Programme is where your old road cones are diverted from landfill and into the RTL Better Cone, that is proudly manufactured right here in New Zealand using recycled cone material.

The Better Cone Recycling Programme is a simple 2:1 model - recycle two cones with us and purchase one new Better Cone. Here is How It Works & Why.

For the Better programme to be viable, we operate on a simple principle:
- For every 2 cones you recycle with us, we ask that you purchase 1 NZ-made Better Cone
- This 2:1 ratio is essential to maintain the financial feasibility of our recycling operations.
- Without this balanced approach, the programme cannot sustain itself long-term
- We accept ALL cones for recycling, regardless of the original manufacturer
- Your recycled cones are transformed into Better Cones right here in Penrose, NZ

All returned cones must meet strict acceptance standards. Cones cannot contain excessive bitumen, tar, chipseal, gravel stones, nails, or screws, as these materials compromise our shredding equipment and the integrity of our finished product. Partners must submit photos of cones for pre-assessment and remove any debris from the underside before returning.
