Programme Details

The objective of the Programme is to identify best practice for the cost effective collection and recovery of agricultural waste plastics. The Programme will assist the Government’s development of a Producer Responsibility scheme for non-packaging farm plastics that might ultimately encourage the majority of all farm plastics to be collected and recovered. These goals will be achieved through successful completion of a number of activities, including: research into current collectors and reprocessors of farm plastics, trials to increase UK collection coverage and sustainability and the development of Good Practice Guides for farmers and collectors.

Further details can be found in Programme Activities. CIWM (EB), the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management Environmental Body, is managing the Programme being delivered by Valpak and ADAS.
