NZ Made: Anthea Madill from Clever Green and Remix Plastic

From First Up, 5:25 am on 2 September 2020

From waste plastic to earrings worn by the Prime Minister. For today's NZ Made business feature we're speaking to Remix Plastic's Anthea Madill, who sells jewellery and other products made from recycled plastic. It's just one of her sustainability education company Clever Green's projects - but has become a large part of it. That's because of a fan in high places - Jacinda Ardern wore a pair of her Huia feather earrings - and it led to the product selling out. Anthea shared her story with First Up's Ellie Jay.
