Recycling

What to recycle

There are five different streams of plastic that Plasback can collect and recycle. Each stream must be in a separate liner. Stream 1 & 5 must be in a separate Plasback liner.

The 5 streams of plastic waste that can be collected and recycled include bale wrap, silage pit covers, low density polypropylene feed bags (LDPE), woven polypropylene bulk bags (1T & 500kg), High Density Polypropylene (HDPE) containers, Vineyard netting (HDPS monofilament nets) and polypropylene twine.

Circular economy

Plasback is dedicated to Product Stewardship. Our recycling programme demonstrates how we facilitate the collection of waste plastic from farm through to reprocessing into recycled products.

Plasback was the joint-second company in New Zealand to achieve accreditation for our Product Stewardship by the Minister for the Environment and the first scheme to be accredited for the agricultural sector. Our Original bin & liner system was designed by farmers for farmers, as a simple cost-effective way to dispose of waste farm plastics.

The Plasback recycling Bins are made from 100% recycled plastic.
