Agrecovery - Rural Recycling Programme

Agrecovery Supporters

Agrecovery would not be able to operate without the help and support of numerous people and organisations.

Agrecovery Foundation Trustees

In December 2005 the Agrecovery Foundation was formed as a not-for-profit charitable trust. The formation of the Foundation was the result of a number of years of work on an industry product stewardship scheme for used agrichemical containers and other “on farm” waste issues.

The Agrecovery Foundation is represented by the following organisations:

Agrecovery Trustees are:

• Graeme Peters – Agrecovery Foundation Chairman, representing Agcarm (Agriculture Chemical and Animal Remedies Manufacturer’s Association)
• Anders Crofoot – representing Federated Farmers
• David Molloy – representing Rural Contractors New Zealand
• John Allen – representing Horticulture New Zealand
