Dengie have a strong ethos in producing sustainable feeds and we continue to look into ways to develop their packaging to ensure it is as environmentally-friendly as possible. By building on trials with carbon-neutral packaging for their Hi-Fi Original product, they have now introduced recycled packaging across their whole range of feeds and bedding products. Dengie’s highly popular Hi-Fi Lite feed was the first in their range to appear in the new recycled packaging which contains as much recycled plastic as it is currently possible to use. It is all the more impressive as the Hi-Fi Lite packaging can still be recycled (LDPE 4) where facilities exist. By including recycled plastic in their packaging, Dengie are providing an outlet for used plastic. This is important in helping to manage plastic waste; an issue that has attracted huge interest over the last few years. Whilst many Dengie bags are re-used on the yard for other functions, it is comforting to know that when they do reach the end of their lifecycle they can be recycled and could ultimately end up in another Dengie bag! Dengie have now become an ambassador for The Green Tractor Scheme to further promote sustainability in agriculture and help further promote recycling in the agricultural sector. Green Tractor look forward to a great relationship with Dengie.
