US EditionUPDATE: Cleanfarms Launches New Pilot Program to Help Fraser Valley Farmers Recycle Ag Plastics
- Cleanfarms and the Fraser Valley Regional District launched a five-year pilot program from 2025 to 2029 to help Fraser Valley farmers recycle agricultural plastics.
- The pilot builds on previous recycling efforts in Northern B.C. And Agassiz and aims to reduce plastic waste while improving recycling efficiency on farms.
- Farmers will use on-farm compactors to densify bale wrap and silage plastics, which will then be transported and processed into pellets at recycling facilities.
- Cleanfarms explained that loose plastics occupy a significant volume, are challenging and labor-intensive to manage with machinery, and have a low weight, leading to inefficient transportation.
- The program seeks to develop lasting sustainable practices for B.C. Agriculture that enable farmers to minimize their environmental impact while maintaining food production.
