At TWL, we believe sustainability is more than a trend. It is an essential part of the future of transport. That is why we are proud to work with partners who share this vision and are taking real steps to make it happen.
One example is RHINO, a manufacturer that has set a new benchmark for the industry. RHINO recently became the first known company to achieve independent verification of the carbon footprint for a heavy truck and trailer mudguard. Their recycled plastic guard delivers a carbon footprint that is 76 percent lower than a guard made from virgin plastic.
This achievement, confirmed by Toitū Envirocare under ISO 14067:2018 standards, reflects years of research and collaboration across the transport sector. TWL is pleased to have contributed alongside other leaders such as Fonterra, Mainfreight, TR Group and Vision Plastics.
Why This Matters for Transport Operators
Regulations in New Zealand, Australia and Europe are increasingly focused on carbon reporting and reduction. Every kilogram of emissions counts. RHINO’s recycled guards give fleets a practical way to reduce their environmental impact without sacrificing durability or performance. Each guard meets strict quality standards and includes UV protection to ensure long service life.
Our Role in Supporting Change
TWL partners with RHINO to make these recycled mudguards available nationwide, and supports customers to recycle their used guards, giving operators practical ways to cut emissions without compromising performance.
Collaboration Across the Industry
The success of this initiative reflects a shared vision for a lower-carbon future. Manufacturers, fleet operators and suppliers are all contributing in different ways, whether through product innovation, carbon measurement or recycling infrastructure. TWL is proud to stand alongside partners like Fonterra, TR Group, Mainfreight and Vision Plastics in supporting solutions that make a measurable difference for the industry.
Looking Ahead
The transport industry is moving toward a lower carbon future. TWL will continue to support solutions that make a measurable difference. Whether through partnerships, product innovation or smarter supply chains, we are committed to helping our customers succeed in this new era.
