Comité
International
des Plastiques en Agriculture
We are an international association dealing with all aspect of plastics in agriculture.
Our Missions
Supporting National Associations
We represent and bring together national associations, such as CPA in France, and similar organizations across Europe, Africa, and beyond. CIPA serves as a unifying body, amplifying their efforts and connecting them to the global community.
Facilitating Knowledge Exchange
CIPA acts as a hub for sharing expertise, research, and innovations in agricultural plastics. By fostering collaboration between members, we promote best practices and support the growth of sustainable plasticulture.
Driving Sustainability
CIPA emphasizes the environmental responsibility of plastic use in agriculture. We support initiatives that enhance recycling, biodegradable solutions, and circular economy practices, reducing the impact of agricultural plastics on the planet.
Promoting international standards and regulations
We advocate experimentation, testing and the establishment of quality standards, and give our members a voice on the necessary legislation concerning plasticulture. These benchmarks ensure consistency and excellence across all member associations and regions.
Addressing Global Challenges
CIPA tackles technical and scientific challenges related to agricultural plastics. By aligning efforts internationally, we work towards solutions that benefit both farmers and the environment.
Enhancing Awareness
Through events, in particular our triennial congress, publications, and partnerships, CIPA raises awareness about the benefits and sustainable use of plastics in agriculture, ensuring a brighter future for farming worldwide.
Why us?

Crop Protection
Plastics protect crops from weather, pests and diseases, reducing crop losses.

Increase in Yields
Mulching films and greenhouses help in creating a favorable microclimate, extending the growing season and increasing yields of agricultural crops.
Efficient Water Management
Plastic irrigation systems allow for precise water distribution, reducing waste and improving water resource efficiency.

Circular Economy
The collection and recycling of used agricultural plastics transforms waste into new resources, contributing to a more circular economy in farming.

Cultivating a Greener Future
Used responsibly, agricultural plastics transform agriculture while ensuring food sovereignty.


Cultivating a Greener Future
When used wisely, plastics in agriculture can transform farming. CIPA’s research’s team pave the way for a greener agriculture all over the world.
