Horticycle

The development of Horticycle has been commissioned by Tapex Group. Tapex have a long history of producer responsibility, having funded the establishment of the Plasback® Product Stewardship Scheme for their agricultural products in Australia and New Zealand.  Tapex are a major supplier to the horticulture sector through their Polygro and GreenLife Structures businesses.

The aim of the Horticycle program is to investigate and advance sustainable end of life solutions for crop protection plastics for growers in Australia. Horticycle aims to facilitate solutions, but not to own the systems, material collected or infrastructure to bale, transport & process plastics. The intention is to assist the creation of a national Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Scheme for Horticultural plastics. By working with other suppliers, growers, industry groups and a network of national recyclers, Tapex will seek to add value by leveraging its experience in plastics, recycling & product development from recycled material.
