New Zealand's tech reuse program saved $9.4 million in 2024/25 by repairing and reusing assistive devices.
New Zealand’s assistive technology repair and reuse programme saved over $9.4 million in 2024/25 by refurbishing and reissuing equipment instead of buying new items.
The initiative, supporting around 120,000 requests annually, reduces wait times for injured and disabled individuals, with refurbishing costing 70% less than new purchases.
Operating through centres in Hamilton, Palmerston North, and Christchurch, and backed by over 500 suppliers and specialists, the programme returned 2,837 items to service in May 2025, repairing or maintaining 2,121—only 24% deemed unrepairable.
The effort cuts waste, supports sustainability, and ensures reliable access to critical devices.
