Services
Agricultural waste recycling
We process silage wrap, fertiliser bags, and crop covers through our closed-loop system. Our SEPA-licensed operations transform contaminated polythene into durable products like refuse sacks and plastic lumber. All materials are sorted, cleaned, and baled at our Tealing facility before transportation to UK processing factories.
Equestrian waste management
Specialised handling of equine waste materials including bedding and packaging. We provide waste transfer notes required by stewardship schemes while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. Our services support sustainable waste disposal for horse owners and stables across Scotland.
Plastic recycling
We recycle agricultural plastics into reusable products through advanced cleaning and pelletising techniques. Our closed-loop system produces Stokbord sheeting for construction and landscaping uses. This process diverts thousands of tonnes of waste from landfills annually while creating durable UK-manufactured materials.
Silage wrap processing
Our patented cleaning method transforms contaminated silage wrap into high-quality raw materials. The processed plastic becomes pit liners, refuse sacks, and plastic lumber used in agricultural and municipal applications. This innovation addresses a major environmental challenge in the farming industry.
Crop cover disposal
We handle contaminated crop covers through our specialist cleaning process. This service prevents landfilling of agricultural films while creating recycled materials for manufacturing. Our solution supports farmers' sustainability goals while maintaining compliance with environmental regulations.
