What our customers say
Case study
Biofiltration media for odour control
With several options available for wastewater odour control, Christchurch City Council found Azwood® biofiltration media to be cost-effective and the most environmentally friendly.
“We’ve done a lot of experimentation into odour control, and Azwood’s biofiltration does a great job. Communication with the team at Azwood is good, and our guys can come and pick up directly from the yard.” – Michael Sheffield, Christchurch City Council
