Welcome to the Agricultural Waste Plastics web site

The aim of this site is to inform you about a Programme to research the economics and practicalities of collecting and recycling all farm plastic waste. The Programme aims to identify how Producer Responsibility for non-packaging farm plastics might work and how it will link with other Government legislation such as the Packaging Regulations.

The objective is to pave the way towards developing a sustainable framework for the collection and recovery of farm plastic waste. It is intended that this framework that will develop as a result of the forthcoming producer responsibility Regulations, will encourage the collection of all types of farm plastic waste, helping farmers comply with recent Regulations that prevent the uncontrolled burial and burning of non-natural agricultural wastes.

The site provides information about the Programme and background information about agricultural waste plastics, along with details of current collectors and reprocessors.
