Agrecovery is excited to announce that Valagro has joined the Agrecovery LDPE Product Stewardship Scheme. That means that you can now recycle their low density polyethylene bags (LDPE or No.4 plastic) for FREE!
How do I get involved?
The Agrecovery LDPE recovery programme allows farmers and growers to responsibly recycle approved No.4 plastic bags for free. Bags must be 25kgs and under and from participating brands – BASF, Yara and Valagro.
