Our Story

Our business was setup with every farm and farmer in mind. No matter the size, the location or farming you do, Agri.Cycle was borne out of a necessity to ensure agriculture is a sustainable industry. We understand the importance of looking after our countryside and so offering an easy, sustainable solution to correctly dispose of any farm plastic waste. Our service is a straightforward process that ensures the customer has no worry of their material being disposed of correctly and that their waste is disposed of responsibly. By recycling with Agri.Cycle, you ensure that your farm plastic is processed in the correct manner.

Since formation, we have developed a network of collection points across the country so that farmers across the UK can take advantage of our service. Most collection points offer a service to collect your farm plastic or alternatively deliver it in. If there is not a collection point near you, do not worry! Get in touch with Agri.Cycle head office and we can find a solution that satisfies all involved.
At the point of transfer of your waste, you will be provided with all relevant paperwork to comply with any assurance scheme and agricultural waste legislation.

In our quest for finding solutions to make our business operations more sustainable, in 2014, we implemented a solar panel roofing and the installation of a solar park in one of our fields. By harnessing the power of the sun, it helps to reduce our carbon footprint and continue to combat climate change.

Agri.Cycle is not just a recycling centre, but a living breathing site. As part of our green credentials, we began rewilding and reforesting parts of our surrounding farm. In 2019, we planted deficient arable farmland with 8500 saplings. We have continued to rehabilitate the land around the site through our reforesting programme and planting wild flowers to encourage greater biodiversity and wildlife at Agri.Cycle.

We have also had the privilege to be able to revert some of our farmland back to grazing for our cattle. There is a predisposition towards cattle that they are environmentally destructive. However, with correct management, they can be a sustainable farming practice. Returning farmland to grassland increases biodiversity, helps maintain a healthy soil ecosystem and acts a carbon sink.

Agri.Cycle continues to find solutions to make our working practices efficient and sustainable. Our two latest investments in the site do exactly that!

The first investment has meant we don’t just recycle plastic but we can now recycle the water we use too! Using our state-of-the-art dissolved air flotation (DAF) system, we treat the wastewater from our on-site recycling processes so that we can keep reusing the water over and over again. With water increasingly becoming scarce, our DAF system is a cornerstone of Agri.Cycle sustainable practice. We wouldn’t recommend drinking the water, however!

Then in 2021, we invested in a new plastic baler. This baler produces larger, denser bales which means we can haul greater amounts of plastic in fewer trips. Our investment in an improved baler is another step to reducing our carbon footprint to become a carbon neutral business.
