The Agrecovery Foundation has issued its Annual Report for 2019-2020.

The 2019-2020 financial year was one of growth, consolidation and change.

Most notably was the disruption that the Covid-19 pandemic caused to our operations, recycling results and ways of working and travelling. Despite this, we have some exciting initiatives in the pipeline that will see our programme grow and expand. One, I am particularly excited about, is finding a sustainable and enduring system for recycling seed, feed and fertiliser bags and teat seal intra-mammary tubes. The government signalling of regulated product stewardship for agrichemicals and farm plastics will further grow our programme.

The key item to address is ensuring that there are sustainable end uses for all the plastic we aim to recycle.
