What is the Teatseal® recycling programme?
A recycling scheme designed for your empty Teatseal® tubes and buckets.
How does the Teatseal® recycling programme work?
Supporting the Teatseal recycling programme is an investment in the future of our industry and our environment, with the plastic re-purposed into fence posts.
- Once you’ve finished teatsealing, simply take the empty plastic tubes, buckets, and teat wipe canisters back to one of our clinics. Tubes, plungers, and caps are recycled together. Teatseal buckets and canisters are also recycled, but kept seperate as they’re made by different plastic.
- Our clinic will provide you with a recycling receipt for your farm environmental audits too.
What products can be recycled?
Empty and clean Teatseal® tubes, buckets, and teat wipe canisters.
Can Teatseal® caps be recycled?
Yes.
Can Teatseal® buckets be recycled?
Yes, but they’ll be added to a different collection.
Will other brands of drycow and teatsealant tubes be accepted?
No – other teatsealant brands, gloves, teatwipes, antibiotics dry cow therapy tubes aren’t being collected due to unknown plastics in other brands. For our Teatseal® recycling initiative to be successful, we need to know what type of plastic the tube is made out of and how the leftover substances react in the recycling process. For this reason, only separated empty Teatseal® tubes will be collected and recycled.
We hope you’ll take part in this recycling scheme as we work together towards a more sustainable future. If you have any questions or concerns, please give us a call.
