Rhino Plastic Guard Recycling
We are always seeking exceptional people to complement our team at Rhino
Driven from our goal to reduce waste to landfill and the improve the environmental footprint for Rhino, our plastic mud guard recycling launched in 2021 was a NZ first in collaboration with some of New Zealand’s leading truck and trailer companies. This is a world-first and a great example of a circular product.
