A honey producer, winemaker and grain grower make up some of the shareholders and directors of a company wanting to build a huge rubbish incinerator, BUT NOT IN THEIR BACKYARDS, in the heart of a food-producing district in Waimate.
Philip Alfred Leslie Cropp is a honey producer based in Nelson. Paul Robert Taylor is a cereal grain and seed grower from the Ashburton area. Robert Bruce Grey is a wine grower from the Nelson region. What all these food growers have in common is a significant shareholding in Renew Energy Limited (REL), the New Zealand company with a 40% stake in South Island Resource Recovery Limited (SIRRL), the company behind ‘Project Kea’.
