Fiber Fresh Feeds Ltd has taken a further step towards becoming 100% clean and green by becoming the first stock feed company able to recycle their bags using the Agrecovery Wrap recycling programme.
The company became a brand owner of the Agrecovery Wrap recycling programme in January and is encouraging their customers to use the programme to dispose of their empty feed bags.
Fiber Fresh Feeds Managing Director Michael Bell says, “the Agrecovery Wrap recycling programme provides our customers with a convenient and efficient waste disposal solution, which also helps protect our environment. The only thing unnatural about our products is the packaging and we are very pleased that it can now be so easily recycled.”
Customers can recycle their empty Fiber Fresh bags by purchasing a small or large Agrecovery Wrap recycling bag from their rural retailer, or by using their existing Agrecovery Silage Wrap recycling bags.
Fiber Fresh bags are made from a superior virgin plastic laminate and, for convenience, Agrecovery have agreed that both farm silage wrap and Fiber Fresh bags can be collected together.
All a customer needs to do when a Fiber Fresh bag is empty is shake all the loose feed material from the bag, roll it up, and stuff it into the Agrecovery bag.
When the Agrecovery bag is full, customers can book its collection with Agrecovery online or by calling 0800 AGRECOVERY (0800 247 326). After booking, small bags are directed to a nearby collection site while all large bags are collected on-farm at no extra cost.
Michael Bell says, “Fiber Fresh is very committed to sustainable production and is very pleased that Agrecovery has enabled us to provide our customers with a very simple way to minimise the environmental impact of our packaging.”
Agrecovery was established in 2005 to address persistent on-farm waste issues. The organisation now provides New Zealand farmers and growers with nationwide agrichemical container, silage wrap and crop protection net recycling as well as a programme for the collection of unwanted chemicals.
By becoming an Agrecovery brand owner, Fiber Fresh has joined other responsible manufacturers who are actively contributing to the safe and sustainable disposal of the products or packaging that they sell into the New Zealand rural market.
