Silostop’s Contribution to Sustainability 

We were honoured to present at the event, as our Sustainability Programme has been widely recognised within the industry. Our approach focuses on integrating technology to develop thinner, more advanced films, reducing overall plastic usage without compromising performance. 

The speakers preceding my session emphasised the urgent need for sustainability advancements in the agricultural sector. It was encouraging to see that the industry is taking this matter seriously, particularly through the expansion of nationwide recycling schemes. Silostop is eager to actively engage with these initiatives as they emerge, as they play a crucial role in building a circular economy for silage films.
