Greenhouse Plastic Recycling Pilot Program - Cooperative Extension: Agriculture - University of Maine Cooperative Extension

Greenhouse Plastic Recycling Grant-Funded Pilot Program

Statewide collection for 2020 has ended.
Check back for updates about the 2021 recycling season.

University of Maine Cooperative Extension has been awarded $38,764 by a one-year State of Maine Department of Environmental Protection Waste Diversion Grant to develop a statewide pilot program to recycle agricultural greenhouse plastic. The program’s goal is to collect at least one-third of Maine’s annual waste greenhouse plastic, and partner with an end-user who can convert the collected plastic into resin feedstock used in the manufacture of new plastic products.
