Historically, the rates of recovery and recycling of agricultural plastics have been low as it is cumbersome to handle, difficult to keep clean and rarely meets post-recycling market specifications. However, efficient recycling infrastructure is emerging to help agricultural plastics get to post-recycling markets. This webinar will focus on the development of collection and recycling best practices for managing waste agricultural plastics; and provide examples of local initiatives of agricultural and recycling communities, integration with existing materials management infrastructure, increasing market demand for recovered agricultural plastic, and extended producer responsibility demonstrated by the manufacturers and distributors of agricultural plastics products.
