Recycling Empty Containers

As part of its commitment to sustainable agriculture and responsible environmental management, Farmers Agri-Care has a working arrangement with Ecosystems Recycling, a KZN-based plastic recycler, approved by AVCASA.

Ecosystems Recycling is based in Empangeni. They will collect empty plastic containers from anywhere in KZN, provided they have been correctly triple-rinsed according to the process shown in the diagram.

Farmers need to introduce two simple steps into their spraying operations in order to commit to responsible recycling:

  • Triple rinse all containers. This is essential, and must become a standard procedure.
  • Store these clean empties for collection by Ecosystems Recycling. Once farmers have accumulated 800 containers, they can be collected by Peter Bannock of Ecosystems Recycling: Call him directly at 082 556 0838, or during office hours at 035 787 0507 or email him at perfecto@iafrica.com.

To help farmers manage empty containers and obsolete pesticides, see details of the CropLife SA Waste Management Programme here: http://www.croplife.co.za/
