Responsibility measures

Internal performance indicators should be established to assess a) which type of uses and b) how long you need a specific item/material. This will give farmers the direct hint what material has to be ordered and could be re-defined and replaced easily after the material does no meet the expectations.

Related Barriers:

  • Companies often lack internal cost-risk assessments related to easy-to-lose plastic materials.

  • Guidelines and specifications for different types of materials and equipment are lacking. A difference should be made between consumables; i.e. single or short use materials and durables; i.e. long use materials.

  • The sector needs more information exchange and dialogue (e.g. workshops, trainings, forums, common toolboxes, free best practice guidelines, etc.).
