This used to be fishing nets. Now it’s the counter you lean on at your One New Zealand store.

Every year, over 11 million tonnes of plastic enter our oceans. Ghost nets—discarded fishing gear—make up a huge part of that.

At the same time, most fit-outs get trashed after just 5–7 years. Straight to landfill.

Instead of letting that waste pile up, we gave it a new job.

Fishing nets. Soft plastics. Now transformed into Cleanstone panels — made right here in Aotearoa.

Panels tough enough to stand up to retail environments.

Panels designed to be resurfaced, reused and recycled.

Panels that tell a story every time someone touches them.

So now, when you visit One NZ stores across the country, you’re leaning on recycled plastics. You’re engaging with a circular solution. You’re part of a space built with the future in mind.

Because WARREN AND MAHONEY and One New Zealand understand that good design should do more than look nice.

It should:

• Reduce waste

• Lower carbon emissions

• Stay out of landfill for as long as possible

Imagine if every retail interior was built this way.

That future isn’t far off!
