Tama Assist Eco-Friendly Baling: One Small Change That’s Worth Making
Farming has always moved with the times. Whether it’s using AI-powered smart apps’ weather data to predict optimum harvesting or reducing agricultural plastic waste, most farmers are willing to give it a go.
But managing plastic waste is a nagging problem. But small changes can have a big impact, and it starts with the stuff we use every day – like baler twine. It’s essential for baling, but once it’s done its job, it’s another bit of plastic that needs dealing with.
Now, there’s a way to keep baling efficiently while making a better choice for the farm and the environment; Tama’s recyclable baler twine.
Conventional baler twine does the job well, but it’s usually made from virgin plastic, meaning every roll adds more new plastic into the system. With growing pressure on farms to reduce waste and meet sustainability targets, many farmers are now looking for smarter, more responsible options.
By choosing twine that’s made with recycled or recyclable materials, you can cut plastic use without changing the way you bale, a simple switch that makes a real difference over time.
The good news is, you don’t need to change the way you bale, only what you bale with. Two alternatives are widely available and easy to use.
The first is sisal twine. Made from natural fibres, it biodegrades over time. That means no plastic waste to gather later, and no long-term plastic pollution in the field. It is suitable for short-term storage and is ideal for farmers wanting to limit their use of agricultural plastic.
Then there’s TamaCycle, a recycled baler twine developed by Tama. It comprises at least 30% recycled plastic, but it’s as strong and reliable as standard Type 130 twine. Each roll gives you 2,650 metres of high-performance twine, so you won’t be changing rolls more often or compromising on quality.
Switching to recyclable twine is simple. You get the same results, but with far less plastic waste. No more frustration trying to gather and figure out where to dump used twine. And no need to worry about what it’s doing to your soil years in the future.
Better still, using Tama’s recyclable twine helps future-proof your farm. It’s a step towards meeting sustainability targets, reducing costs and reducing plastic pollution.
You can feel confident making the switch to TamaCycle twine because it’s designed to perform while being better for the environment. It’s fully “Original Equipment Manufacturer” approved, so suitable for all major baler brands. With built-in UV protection, it holds firm even in tough conditions, giving you reliable results and a greener choice in one.
