Why are we helping?
Tapex have been supplying protective cropping solutions to Australian & New Zealand farmers for sixty years. Tapex have a long history of taking responsibility for the products they supply at end of life. In 2006 they established the Plasback farm plastics product stewardship scheme in New Zealand. Today, Plasback is still going strong, recycling in a total of 30,000 tonnes off NZ farms annually. www.plasback.co.nz
