The Agrecovery programme provides a long-term recycling solution for on-farm waste by ensuring the disposal of the many plastic agrichemical and veterinary medicine containers used in New Zealand each year.
Up until Agrecovery started the common practice was to burn or bury these containers. Neither of these solutions is considered environmentally friendly so we needed a new disposal option.
Agrecovery gives every farmer and grower the ability to now dispose of these containers.
The programme is funded by a levy on each plastic container sold. The levy is paid directly by manufacturers, based on how much product they sell.
AgRecovery also has a chemical recovery scheme. This provides a safe and easy collection and disposal service for all agrichemical and veterinary medicine users.
