The closed-loop agricultural supply chain : from used film to recycled-based collection equipment

Circularity

AUTHOR : Gaël DENIZART, Director of Performance and Collection, A.D.I.VALOR

Thanks to the organisation and partnerships set up by A.D.I.VALOR, the collection and recycling of agricultural supply waste in France is a success story. However, the sector is still seeking to improve. The proof is in the pudding: the inclusion of recycled material in collection equipment.

Recycled plastic bags for collecting agricultural waste

A.D.I.VALOR is responsible for the collection and recovery of waste agricultural supplies, input packaging and agricultural plastics. Every year, A.D.I.VALOR collects around 100,000 tonnes of agricultural supply waste, divided into 25 different categories (film, cans, big bags, twine, netting, etc.). Each type of waste has specific technical requirements for preparation on the farm and delivery to the collection points, in order to optimise waste recovery while guaranteeing user safety.

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.
