In the last few days, field tests have been carried out in the Province of Mantua of an agricultural film recovery and cleaning system developed by an international consortium – in which Italy is represented by Assorimap and Cesap – financed by the European Commission.
The project, dubbed START (www.start.uk-matri.org) and developing over a three-year period, has the objective of promoting the recovery of agricultural film at the end of the season directly from the farms or companies that use it, cleaning it of dirt and fertilizer and grinding it in order to facilitate its subsequent recycling by dedicated firms.
