Norwood recycles as much of its production waste as possible. The bulk of this is from offcuts of its quality Polypropylene sheets which are used for Norwood’s plant tags and other printed material and is highly rated for its recyclable properties.

Norwood’s recycling partner, Martogg takes a ‘cradle to cradle’ approach to the Life Cycle Management of plastic products. Martogg has extensive knowledge of the plastics industry and polymer technology and they formulate and recycle our plastic waste into value added, quality polymers that are used in the manufacture of new plastic products.

Norwood prides itself on the retention of its loyal and dedicated staff. With just under half its full time employees serving in excess of 10 years, the company continues to provide a challenging and rewarding work environment with opportunities for advancement in different areas of the business.

As a committed equal opportunity employer, Norwood boasts a wonderful diversity of staff from different cultures and nationalities who have migrated from New Zealand, China, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Italy, Greece, Ireland, Pakistan, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Brazil.

Norwood’s blue trolleys were designed by its Industrial Design Team to maximise the transport efficiencies of products from Production to Despatch. Each trolley is designed to hold and display 128 shoe boxes of products. Norwood’s 25 longest serving (current) staff each have a trolley named in their honour together with a photo of their work environment.

Norwood’s massive factory roof provides the perfect harvest area for the collection of rain water throughout the year which is stored in a series of interconnected tanks. The water is used in Norwood’s toilets and for the irrigation of thousands of plants throughout its beautifully maintained gardens.
