Business
Matta has recycled more than 60 million kilograms of PVC and rubber in the last 30 years, since the company was started by then-Ōtaki mayor Murray Scott in his garage.
The company produces safety matting for playgrounds and industrial use all over the world, and brings a strong sustainability approach to a very niche sector.
In this episode of Flying the Fern, host David Downs talks to managing director Brent Harris about:
- The DIY early days and pioneering recycling systems in the 1990s
- Growing from a small Ōtaki startup to having overseas offices and international business
- How being from New Zealand aligns with their focus on recycling and opens doors
- Why they keep manufacturing in New Zealand, despite it being cheaper to go elsewhere
