Trash to Treasure - Winepress discuss Repost’s new Spring Creek hub

Winepress - February Edition, p19

A NEW Repost 'hub' in Spring Creek will enable more Marlborough grapegrowers to divert their broken vineyard posts from stockpiles and landfill, to instead be repurposed into low-cost fencing posts.

Repost, which won the Wine Marlborough-sponsored wine industry award at the 2023 Cawthron Marlborough Environment Awards, and the innovation award at the 2023 Beef + Lamb New Zealand Awards, is going "gangbusters", says co-owner Dansy Coppell. "I am so proud of where Repost is going and what we have achieved in such a short period of time." The success of the company has been thanks to great timing, with wine companies concerned about waste streams and circularity, farmers dealing with fencing obligations, and councils working to reduce waste streams.
