Formerly known as the Recovered Materials Foundation, TerraNova is an organization that seeks to develop sustainable uses for waste in the waste stream. The organization is non-profit and was founded by the Christchurch City Council in 1997.
Until 2009 TerraNova was responsible with finding markets for the materials collected at the kerbside. This is now handled by CCCTwo, which is a part of the Christchurch City Council.
In 2005 the organization re-focused its role, offering waste education and reduction services and lobbying for issues related to minimising waste. 2005 is also the year TerraNova established Meta NZ Ltd, the company that is now responsible for managing the three EcoDepots (refuse stations) in Christchurch.
