About the presenters
The National Centre for Timber Durability and Design Life is conducting a research project, supported by Wine Australia, to explore solutions for viticulture growers to dispose of unwanted treated timber or CCA vineyard posts – without sending them to landfill.
AgSafe’s newly launched bagMUSTER and popular drumMUSTER programs offer sustainable solutions for collecting and recycling agricultural plastic bags and AgVet chemical containers.
Integrated Recycling recovers and repurposes waste plastics at our manufacturing facility in Mildura.
Almond grower Neale Bennett and dried grape grower Daryn Gardner share their experiences with whole orchard and whole vineyard recycling.
Netafim Recoil recycles used drip lines and removes agricultural plastic waste from the field to minimise the environmental and carbon footprint in manufacturing new driplines
The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) Victoria is the state’s independent environmental regulator, providing information and options for growers regarding horticulture infrastructure waste.
