Addressing the issue of farm plastic waste.
Repurpose Farm Plastic began during the pandemic at the University of Maryland to tackle plastic waste pollution on farms. With a simple cleaning technology, it could make agricultural plastic film recyclable—yes, all of it!
We’re cleaning the planet, one piece of plastic at a time. Thank you to the University of Maryland, the Wye Research Center, and the numerous student groups who dedicated their time and energy to build something meaningful.
To bring this innovation to life, we need your support. Every dollar helps turn this vision into reality.
Repurpose Farm Plastic Inc. established a sustainable answer to the pressing issue of agricultural plastic recycling. We are creating a system to cleanse agricultural plastic film, facilitating its seamless integration into the recycling stream and tailored to local conditions.
Our innovative technology is patentable and resolves the challenges of scaling in agricultural recycling*. This approach benefits farmers, communities, countries, and the global environment.
*For instance, it can effectively cleanse various soiled plastics, including feed bags, tarps, bale wraps, and more.
