Discover how TR Group helped turn Rhino’s recycled plastic guard programme into a verified carbon-saving success story, with independently certified 76% lower emissions and a model for sustainable fleet innovation.
Fonterra asked if they could return their end-of-life RHINO mudguards for recycling. The easy answer was no — but we pushed on. Here’s how RHINO and Vplas built a verified circular manufacturing loop with a 76% lower carbon footprint.
It all started with a simple question from Fonterra’s Guy Cooper: “What are your guards made from?”
That question set off a chain of events leading to RHINO’s recycled plastic PL12063 mudguards — verified by Toitū Envirocare with a 76 % lower carbon footprint. When customers care, you act.
RHINO becomes the first known manufacturer of heavy-truck and trailer mudguards to achieve an independently verified product carbon footprint, confirming a 76% CO₂ reduction compared to virgin-plastic guards through recycled plastic innovation.
