Busienss Visiting

Today the 1st of June we went to Hautapu Pine and Byfords Readi-mix to investigate on there pollution.
We found that Byfords Readi-mix do not pollute the river as they recycle there concrete and it gets turned into builders mix which them gets sold.
The Hautapu Pine was very interesting we were told how the pine is treated and what are the steps that it has to go through. The pine gets put into some large tunnels which are enclosed, the pine then gets steamed up to be prepared for the chemical treatment before the pine is allowed to then be sold on. We were also told that the water that drips out of the pine goes into a pond which then gets cleaned out every three years and the overflow from the pond then goes into a stream which then goes into the Hautapu river. We were also very concerned about the bark peels that get dumped into the paddock that is next to the Byfords Readi-mix. We found out that they have a recent so they are allowed to dump it there but it is still a damage to the river.
I found this trip interesting and found out a lot of information.
