I am seeking insights from UK farmers across all enterprises on current disposal methods, the feasibility of transitioning to sustainable alternatives, and the barriers in which farmers face when disposing of their agricultural plastics. The aim is to capture where the current system is failing and what support farmers need to make recycling feasible.
My name is Molly Worth; I am a final year student at Newcastle University studying Agri-business management. I am currently undertaking a dissertation titled ‘The Fate of Agricultural Plastics: Investigating Sustainable Pathways for Management and Utilisation of Agricultural Plastics in UK Farming’.
The survey takes 15-20 minutes to complete. Participation is entirely voluntary and anonymous, with all data being stored securely in line with GDPR guidelines. This insight will be a chance to share the practical realities of managing waste on farms.
