FLORIDA DRIP TAPE RETRIEVAL AND RECYCLING PILOT PROGRAM

Are you currently sending drip tape the landfill or having difficulty finding recyclers to take the used drip tape? Andros is a leader in manufacturing high-efficiency machines to retrieve drip tape and is operating the largest drip tape recycling program on the West Coast. Andros is looking for Florida farming operations that would like to participate in a 2024 drip tape retrieval and recycling pilot program.

Goals of the program:

• Increase the efficiency of retrieval.
• Create used drip tape rolls that the most optimal size and density for maximizing logistics.
• Collect materials (drip tape) and load trucks at the farm.
• Reduce labor costs (retrieval), reduce landfill and transportation costs, and reuse the plastic material to create other products (recycling/sustainability).

What the farmer is required to do to participate in the program:

• Work with Andros to determine dates for retrieval and estimated drip tape volume or total acres.
• Provide Andros with information about your current farming practices and field conditions that would affect retrieval or recycling.
• Utilize Andros Mega Binder for retrieval.
• Allow and support the pickup of Mega rolls on the farm.
