Meet the New, Industry-Leading Eco-Friendly, Recyclable Barn Curtain by Herculite® Products Featuring Renegade Plastics®
GOLDEN, Colo., Aug. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Plastic is used in various applications throughout the agriculture industry from hoop house covers to barn curtains, mulching, and more. Unfortunately, when most plastics break down they result in microplastic pollution. According to a 2022 UN report, all of these tiny pieces of plastic are accumulating in the soil at an "alarming rate."1 What's more is that researchers are finding that the accumulation of plastic waste has numerous detrimental effects on the soil microbiome, crop growth, livestock reproductive function, and human health.2,3 Fortunately, leading fabric company Herculite has introduced a line of green, sustainable barn curtains featuring Renegade Plastics' recyclable, better-for-the-planet agricultural fabrics.
- Barn curtains protect livestock from the elements, increase air circulation, control temperature, and manage light for better production.
- They visualize solutions and deliver innovative products and services that help them grow their businesses," said Renegade Plastics Co-Founder, Curran Hughes.
- Herculite barn curtains made with Renegade Plastics' fabrics are better for animal welfare and for reducing plastic waste from the agricultural industry.
- With the Renegade material we can help reduce microplastic contamination, extend the life of the curtain, and provide a recyclable solution to the market."
