Impact · measured, not claimed

Checked by people
who would know.

We hold our claims to the same standard as our carbon accounting — independently examined, precisely attributed, on the record.

Climate · beyond carbon

Emissions cut at the source.

Gross emission reductions

Methane captured rather than vented from decomposing organics.

Near-zero waste

Every stream leaves as a product: gas, fertiliser, water, carbon.

Reduced sewage discharge

Water returned cleaner than it arrived.

An end to burn-off

Canterbury burns ~100,000 tonnes of crop residue a year. It's feedstock, not smoke.

Outputs · the loop pays for itself

Four products from one waste stream.

Clean water

On-site energy powers aerobic biological treatment — water returned to the catchment.

Bio-fertiliser

Nitrogen and phosphorus recovered, replacing imports.

Carbon

Verified reductions, one auditable trail.

Planetary science

Measured against the planet's limits.

An independent planetary-science review tracks our impacts across nine core environmental factors — the planetary boundaries.

Positive outcomes across six of nine planetary boundaries — independent planetary-science review · click a segment
Reviewer Independent planetary-science specialist Role Founder / CEO, planetary-boundaries research organisation Context Independent review · 2023

Our system supports positive outcomes across six of the nine planetary boundaries.

An independent planetary-boundaries research organisation examined the BRRP through a planetary-boundaries lens. Their review identified reduced emissions, decreased fossil-fuel use, enhanced soil biodiversity, reduced water discharge and a lower land footprint — and endorsed the team's technical competence in delivering them.

Te Ao Māori · alignment tested, not assumed

Designed to uphold Mauri.

We work in sustained engagement with iwi across the rohe where our projects sit — from cultural impact through to how nutrients return to whenua. That engagement shapes the system; it isn't a consultation checkbox at the end.

Framework Earth Equity Model Reviewed with A co-designer of the Indigenous Māori view of Doughnut Economics Status Shared with their consent

Designed with Earth, soil and water in mind — upholding Mauri within planetary boundaries.

Our Earth Equity Model frames our role as Tangata Tiriti — guardians distinct from Kaitiaki — supporting the health and wellbeing of earth, sky and water. We reviewed the model directly with a co-designer of the Indigenous Māori view of Doughnut Economics, and share that alignment here with their consent and blessing.

Te Mana o te Wai

The health of water comes first. Our process returns water cleaner than it arrived.

Whenua restored

Nutrients return to the land that produced them, closing the loop for future generations.

Partnership in practice

Engagement with iwi across the rohe where we work, from cultural impact assessment through to operation.

Aligned with

Six goals, measurably.

Our founders belong to the Edmund Hillary Fellowship, whose mission is to incubate solutions to global problems from Aotearoa New Zealand.
