A Western Bay of Plenty supermarket is setting the bar high on waste management - saving 90 per cent of its waste from the landfill. But it's not done yet.
FreshChoice in Omokoroa is aiming for 100 per cent.
The results were revealed through an independent waste audit by Waste Watchers, a free service offered by Western Bay of Plenty District Council.
FreshChoice owner and operator Steve Ling said the result was a great thrill.
"It was fantastic to confirm we're diverting 90 per cent of our waste from landfill. But we're not really content with that. Thanks to the waste audit, we have more ideas on how to attack that last 10 per cent."
