Manufacturers, importers and sellers of agricultural plastics have taken voluntary producer responsibility for agricultural plastics, even though they do not have a statutory obligation. Agricultural plastics include bale wrap, silage sheets, and bale twines and yarn. Agricultural packaging such as fertilizer bags and large sacks are however covered by statutory packaging producer responsibility.

The first official year of operation (2024) for Finnish Agricultural Plastics Recycling Ltd was highly successful, both in terms of collection volumes and the quality of plastics delivered for recycling. The target of 2,000 tonnes was reached by late November—within less than four months—and was eventually exceeded by more than 300 tonnes. Around 500 pick-ups were carried out across Finland. The collected agricultural plastics are delivered to Clean Plastic Finland in Merikarvia, where they are processed into plastic granulate.

Following the successful pilot year, operations have expanded to also cover silage sheets, with a collection target of 500 tonnes. Orders for bale wrap collection are being received continuously.
