EZ Web: A New Sustainable Step Forward for Round Baling in Ireland

Share

Sustainability is becoming a defining part of farming across Ireland. With tighter recycling expectations and growing pressure to reduce plastic use, farmers and contractors are looking for practical solutions that don’t slow down the job. EZ Web is one of the most promising developments in this space; a round baling material designed to cut waste, simplify recycling, and still deliver the performance Irish farmers expect.

EZ Web isn’t netwrap. It isn’t film. It’s a new category of baling material built for modern farming.

Designed for Easy Recycling.....No Sorting Required

Traditional round‑baling materials often mix plastics that must be separated before recycling. EZ Web avoids this problem entirely.

  • Made using recycled materials
  • Built from a single plastic family compatible with stretchfilm
  • No on‑farm separation needed
  • Cleaner material after removal, reducing soilage and contamination

This means farmers can recycle EZ Web and stretchfilm together, saving time and reducing the hassle of sorting waste.

Runs on Your Existing Baler (No Costly Modifications Needed!)

EZ Web fits straight into standard netwrap systems. You don’t need:

  • Conversion kits
  • Extra attachments
  • Special settings
  • Additional training

Load it like netwrap, wrap as normal, and get the same number of wraps per bale you’re used to. It’s a simple switch that doesn’t disrupt your workflow.

Compared with Net Replacement Film (NRF), EZ Web uses 2–3 times less plastic per bale!

Less Plastic Per Bale — More Sustainable by Design

Compared with Net Replacement Film (NRF), EZ Web uses 2–3 times less plastic per bale. In practical terms:

  • Around 115–130 g of EZ Web per silage bale
  • NRF typically uses 250–350 g per bale
  • EZ Web accounts for just 5–8% of total bale plastic
  • NRF accounts for 14–23%

Across a season, that’s a major reduction in plastic volume — less to store, less to transport, and less to recycle.

Cleaner Material After Use, Easier to Handle and Recycle

One of EZ Web’s biggest advantages is how clean it comes off the bale.

  • Soil and crop don’t cling to it
  • A quick shake removes most debris
  • Tests show 15–20% soilage compared with 70% for netwrap

Cleaner material means easier storage, lower transport weight, and more efficient recycling.

Closing the Loop for Round Baling

EZ Web finally solves a long standing challenge in round baling sustainability. Once collected, the used material can be:

  • Re‑granulated
  • Recycled
  • Turned back into new EZ Web, stretchfilm, or even netwrap

This circular approach reduces waste and supports Ireland’s move toward more sustainable farming practices.

A Practical, Sustainable Choice for Irish Farmers

EZ Web offers a genuine step forward for Irish agriculture:

  • Less plastic
  • Easier recycling
  • Cleaner handling
  • No baler modifications
  • Strong, reliable bale performance

It’s a smarter way to bale….simple to use, better for the environment, and ready for the future of Irish farming.
