Latest News: Tapex launches Plasback - Silage wrap recycling program
Plasback is a product stewardship program from Tapex

Silage bale wrap and silage pit covers have long presented a disposal problem for farmers. Now there is a solution. A new collection system, called Plasback, will provide a long term, low cost solution for farmers and councils. It makes disposal easy and will create new value out of this farm plastic waste stream.

The Plasback system ensures this plastic becomes a raw material for new products, rather than a waste problem. Farmers can clean up their farms and recycle a non-renewable resource into useful products.

For more information about Plasback please call Ed George, Manager, Environmental Solutions Division, on 0417 150 160 or visit www.plasback.com.au.
