We’ve joined the new Green Tractor Scheme

We’re delighted to join as a Member of the Green Tractor Scheme.

The Green Tractor Scheme’s ambition is to provide UK agriculture with the ability to recycle all farm plastic packaging by 2030.  The scheme offers the agricultural industry a whole network or collection and processing points using approved partners for the correct disposal of waste.

The Scheme says:

Although agricultural plastics only represent 3% of the total plastics used in the UK, it is important that this high profile sector continues to improve producer responsibility. Plastics provide important benefits to the sector in the terms of efficient food production, but it is essential that responsibility for the recycling of this product is shared across the sector, and all used products that are no longer required, are treated in line with best practice.

Following the introduction of our 30% recycled materials packaging, bulk storage solutions and barrel recycling scheme we are already working hard to do as much as we can  for the environment. However, as many of our products are provided still in plastic containers, we also want to promote the scheme to you, our customers, to spread the word and encourage you to get involved too if you haven’t already.
