Together we grow for change

Sustainability

We have a deep connection to the land, so looking after it is non-negotiable. That’s why we follow three guiding principles on our path to becoming the world’s most sustainable crop baling solutions company.
First, we reduce the amount of plastic used in our products. Second, we design and innovate with sustainability at the centre of every new development. And third, we work to ensure our manufacturing processes leave as little waste as possible.

External cycle: the world as a raw material

We integrate externally recycled materials into our production processes, so nothing goes to waste

Joint Cycle: Cooperation with Healix to solve the plastic problem, together

Waste is taken to the Healix recycling factory where the plastic is cleaned and re-processed into high quality infinity products.

Internal Cycle: Zero production waste!

We recycle everything we can. Many of our raw materials are made from recycled production waste from the get-go.
