Recycling Agricultural Waste Plastic

A cost-effective solution to the plastic recycling directive

Trailer-mounted baler for waste agri-plastic compaction A simple concept which makes light work of waste agri-plastic: compact the waste at source with a mobile baler to produce mill-size bales which are cost-effective to handle and readily accepted by recyclers. The cost of disposal by this method is dramatically lower than most other schemes.

Typically a farm of 200 beef cattle and 300 sheep will pay approximately £1,000 per year to dispose of its waste plastic. With our scheme, ten farms buying one waste baler between them could halve that plastic recycling cost, including the once-only purchase of a baler.

The Agri-mac V250 produces 150kg - 425kg bales and is ideal for baling waste agri-plastic. It can be mounted on a trailer - as pictured - to provide a mobile baling service.

Most types of agri-plastic can be recycled, including silage wrap, feed bags, fertiliser bags, chemical containers (rinsed and dried), twine and netwrap. For maximum cost-effectiveness, plastic should be sorted and each type baled separately.

When a suitable quantity of baled plastic has accumulated, it can be collected and transported economically to a recycler.

The scheme is perfectly suited to agricultural contractors seeking to extend their range of services, to groups of farmers who wish to share the cost of waste disposal, or to individuals who prefer to purchase a baler outright.
