Today:
• A large portion of agricultural films are left on the field or
burnt uncontrollably by the farmers releasing harmful
substances with the associated negative consequences to
the environment.
• Aesthetic pollution and landscape degradation of regions
of natural beauty. South Europe… only?
• Safety of the food produced in such fields?

LABELAGRIWASTE: Objectives (1)
• Develop standardised procedures and integrated methodologies to label the agricultural plastic waste streams in order to facilitate their routing to the best alternative processing and final disposal:
�most environmental friendly and economically valuable and technically feasible solution
![Page 9: Alexandre Dangis EuPC European Plastic Converterseuropeanplasticfilms.eu/docs/labelagriwaste.pdf · SME-members: to bring the scientific recommendations to the level of the user and](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050406/5f837eb72042e84a7e0801f5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

LABELAGRIWASTE: Objectives (2)
• Transforming used agricultural plastics into a commodity that can be transported across boundaries, traded in the open market and routed to the best alternative processing and disposal.
• Developing a systematic labelling scheme and policy recommendations for the appropriate disposal and/or utilisation of the agricultural plastic wastes. This will support relevant standardisation CEN and/or other legislation activities for cleaner environment and economy of natural resources.

LABELAGRIWASTE: Objectives (3)
• Developing farming practices that will improve the quality of the waste
• Maximizing the range of the specs a waste stream should meet to qualify for a processing/ disposal option.
• 5 Work Packages have been set up by the consortium

Objectives
AnalyseAnalyse the generation, collection and disposal practices practices of agricultural plastic wastes over Europe.
Identify and analyseIdentify and analyse the technical and economical critical parameterscritical parametersaffecting the quality / value of the agricultural plastic waste stream through the agricultural plastic waste generation-collection-disposal scheme.
DocumentDocument the European, international, national and regional legal legal
frameworkframework concerning several aspects of the agricultural plastic waste management (composition of the waste, agrochemicals, transportation of waste, water and air pollution prevention) and identify the legal differences across national barriers and any conflicts or gaps in legislation.
InvestigateInvestigate analytical methodologies and labelling schemes already already
appliedapplied in other industrialin other industrial sectorssectors that could be adopted in the agricultural plastic waste streams and compatibility/synergetic schemes with other waste streams.

Objectives
Correlate / quantify the qualityCorrelate / quantify the quality of the agricultural plastic waste stream to its initial composition, use, collection/ treatment, storage and composition, use, collection/ treatment, storage and
transportationtransportation in order to quantify the key control parameters and establish the quality assurance system supported by the labelling scheme.
Expand the rangeExpand the range of acceptable material for each disposal option by eliminating technical hurtles and investigating differences between waste disposal plants. Determine the constraints and conditionsDetermine the constraints and conditions to be applied in the form of specifications for each disposal alternative and develop a simple classification methodology of wastes – labelling criteria per disposal option aimed at the environmental safe, technically feasible and cost effective disposal.
WP 2. Pre-normative research aimed at overcoming scientific challenges for consolidation/ validation of
agricultural plastic waste labelling scheme to maximize valorization of the waste stream
![Page 13: Alexandre Dangis EuPC European Plastic Converterseuropeanplasticfilms.eu/docs/labelagriwaste.pdf · SME-members: to bring the scientific recommendations to the level of the user and](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050406/5f837eb72042e84a7e0801f5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Objectives
Organize and carry out pilot testsOrganize and carry out pilot tests to implement the results of the previous work package, putting into practice the alternative technical guidelines for the final users.
Evaluate, optimize and validateEvaluate, optimize and validate the collection scheme in the farm, the labelling methodology and the operating range of the disposal processes based on the extended pilot effort.
Get feedbackGet feedback from the SMEs group and the interested parties that will lead to the optimization and enhancement of the entire system.

TrainingTraining is the capital element leading to the adoption and adoption and
implementationimplementation in the long run of the labelling scheme.
While the dissemination (WP 4) will focus on why the SMEswhy the SMEs should adopt the proposed scheme (merits of the scheme), the training will focus on how to adopton how to adopt the proposed recommendations.
Training to be conducted mainly by the IAG'smainly by the IAG's, directed firstly to their SME-members: to bring the scientific recommendations to the level of the user and to answer all the questions that arise from the particularity of their members.
Technical assistanceTechnical assistance for the training will be provided by the RTD performers.

Farmplastics in the UK*
• Each year about 550,000 tonnes of non-natural wastes are generated on farms in England, of which it is estimated that about 85,000 tonnes is waste plastic.
• Over 90% of holdings produce plastic waste, with packaging waste estimated to be about 21,000 tonnes each year and non-packaging plastic waste estimated at about 65,000 tonnes per year. This latter figure is bolstered by the high levels of contamination (soil and other debris) associated with silage wrap and horticultural films

www.agwasteplastics.org.uk
The website in the UK enables farmers to search for collectors of plastic waste in their area, and for collectors to find suitable processors of agricultural waste plastics.

Conclusion
• Via EuPC (EuPF) and EuPR the plastic films extruders & recyclers can influence and/orcontribute to this project. They can furthermoreanalyse together the increasing use of plastics in the agricultural market
• Farmers are eager to find alternative markets forthe use of their products but a lot needs to be doneto communicate with their farmers community onthe responsable use of plastics in order to have a good image for plastics
