Turning Plastic Waste Into Fence Posts | On Farm Story

After deciding that he wouldn’t sit on the fence when it comes to plastic waste, Future Post founder Jerome Wenzlick took what was destined for the landfill and turned it into an upright business venture that’s gone from strength to strength.
Future Post now repurpose a small part of the thousands of tonnes of plastic that is no longer used into fence posts for the primary industry.
