Canadian farmers have a proud heritage of producing food for the world. For this work, they rely on many plastic-based specialty products, for example, for storing grain; collecting, protecting and fermenting hay; keeping moisture in and weeds out of soil as well as handling sap from maple trees.

Silage is a high-value, fermented feed for livestock. Fermentation takes place in silage plastic that protects and preserves the feed quality. Recycling silage plastics and bunker covers is just one example of the expanding array of options Cleanfarms provides to farmers to manage essential tools once used.
