Renamed to Phoenix Recycling Group.
From April 2, our updated name and logo reflects our evolution as a company from a handful of metal recycling yards to a nationwide group that offers a comprehensive, ever-expanding range of materials, products and services.

We are excited to announce our solar panel recycling solution! A first for NZ. As Simeon Brown, his team and Aotearoa businesses and organisations electrify NZ, we will ensure #zerowaste of the very products we rely on for our energy. Accepting every panel type; framed and unframed. 98% of the panel materials are recycled; 2% of material is lost during the recycling process; where particles become too small to be separated and recovered. A fantastic result for another complex specialist waste stream made up of many materials such as aluminium, magnesium, silicon, iron, lead, cadmium, argentum, glass, fibreglass and polyurethane; to name a few.

Simon Prendergast is leading the team.
