Integrated management from field to recycling

The actual recyclability of a plastic depends as much on the design of the product as on its use and preparation for collection. By involving the entire value chain in the integrated management of agricultural plastics, we can give them a second life. This is what has been put in place in the Pays de la Loire region, from the field to the locally recycled product. A few questions to Trioworld, the film manufacturer.

Plasticulture Magazine: In the Pays de la Loire region, a three-way partnership has been set up to manage used horticultural plastics. How did the project come about?

Anne-Laure Gilles: The project was launched in 2014. It stems from a collaboration between local public and private players that aimed to set up a local circular economy for horticultural plastics between the users, who are the market gardeners, the collectors of used plastics and Trioworld as the film manufacturer.

The idea was to create local circularity loops, where the plastic is manufactured, used, collected and recycled locally, then used again for another cycle, and so on. The material never leaves the Pays de la Loire. This is the fruit of a joint effort that has made it possible to manufacture a plastic that meets the technical needs of market gardeners, while allowing up to 68% recycled material to be incorporated into the new films. This is a specific case of the closed loop in agriculture.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
