The three-year recycling pilot is being operated by Cleanfarms in partnership with the RDFFG at no cost to participating farmers.
Key Points:
- The three-year recycling pilot is being operated by Cleanfarms in partnership with the RDFFG at no cost to participating farmers.
- We estimate farmers in the RDFFG generate about 460 tonnes of these agricultural plastics annually, said Cleanfarms Executive Director Barry Friesen.
- This pilot will help local farmers to move those used materials off their farm properties when they are no longer wanted.
- Recycling used farm plastics helps keep farms clean and tidy and contributes to sustainable use of natural resources in Canadas emerging circular economy.
