Related Barriers:

  • No higher taxes on small and cheap disposable plastic gear items are raised, lowering the motivation of farmers to keep and recover them or use alternative materials.

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

  • A leadership within the entire sector to better implement innovative solutions of waste management (i.e. common sourcing/ funding/monitoring/best practice replication, etc.) is missing.
