What is the Green Tractor Scheme?

The Green Tractor Scheme was created to tackle the pressing issue of agricultural plastic waste. Every year, UK Farms produce thousands of tonnes of waste plastic, including bale wrap, crop cover and feed bags. This waste often ends up in landfills or is incinerated, both of which are harmful to the environment.

The Green Tractor Scheme provides a sustainable solution by offering farmers an easy way to dispose of their plastic responsibly. The plastic is collected, recycled and given new life, reducing the industry’s carbon footprint.
