How do farmers deal with broken or unusable agricultural plastic products?

Farmers often deal with broken or unusable agricultural plastic products by recycling, repurposing, or disposing of them responsibly. Recycling programs are common, where plastics are collected and processed into new materials. Some farmers may repurpose the plastic for other uses on the farm, such as using old irrigation tubing for trellises. When recycling or repurposing is not feasible, farmers may bury the plastic, though this is less common due to environmental concerns. Proper disposal in designated waste facilities is encouraged to prevent pollution and protect soil health.
