Agricultural Drip Tape Recycling Program

Agricultural drip tape plays a crucial role in optimizing water usage on commercial farms, especially in arid regions like the Southwest United States.

Nevertheless, the lifespan of drip tape in the demanding outdoor environment of commercial farms is typically limited to a single season.

Unfortunately, farmers often face a lack of accessible solutions for recycling used drip tape. In the absence of recycling options, farmers are confronted with undesirable alternatives: burying it on the farm, burning it, allowing it to accumulate over the years in a tangled, semi-toxic heap, or resorting to landfill disposal.

"It's our responsibility to minimize the impact on the environment."

Recognizing the environmental impact of these disposal methods, we have developed a comprehensive Agricultural Drip Tape Recycling Program.

From Drip Tape to Plastic Pellets, Plastic Film, Dumpster Lids, and More

Intco Recycling provides an environmentally responsible solution for farmers. We collect used drip tape from farms and transport it to our facilities in Malaysia for processing.

The drip tape undergoes a thorough process of washing, grinding, and pelletization, giving it a new life. These recycled materials are then utilized to manufacture a variety of plastic products.
