Chip packet project cause with dual positive outcomes!

From Afternoons, 1:48 pm on 12 July 2023

The Chip Packet Project is likely to be one of the more unique charity initiatives you've heard of, but it's one that is aiming to both help our homeless population and ease the strain on our landfills.

We eat a lot of chips in New Zealand, and the foil material used to make the packets can take 80 years to decompose.

Terrena Griffiths discovered another use for them, and now she's using those discarded packets to improve the lives of 69,000 Kiwis in need.

Terrena speaks to Jesse.
