About Svepretur<\/h1><\/div>

Svepretur is a non-profit industry association that brings together manufacturers, importers, and retailers of silage film, plastic bulk bags, and cultivation film. Through shared responsibility, the organization works to provide an environmentally responsible and cost-effective recycling solution for farmers, growers, and horse owners across the country. Our subcontractor, Kretslopp & Recycling i Sverige AB<\/a>, is responsible for collection, on-farm pickup, etc., and for ensuring that the collected material is recycled in an environmentally sound manner.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Activity and purpose<\/h2><\/div>

The trade association\u2019s operational activities are managed by Svepretur AB (Svensk Ensilageplast Retur AB), a materials company similar to those that exist for glass and newspapers. The company operates entirely on a non-profit basis and is competition-neutral. The fees charged correspond to the actual costs, and when selecting contractors, priority is given to cost-efficiency and service level. The current contractor agreement with Svepretur AB is held by Kretslopp & Recycling i Sverige AB<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The results of the operations are reported to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturv\u00e5rdsverket), and follow-up reports are published on Svepretur\u2019s website. The entire recycling system is financed through a fee paid at the time of purchasing the plastic products, which means that farmers and growers can then easily return their plastic to collection points at no additional cost.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

For a more environmentally friendly agriculture<\/h2><\/div>

By sorting and recycling agricultural plastic, you contribute to more sustainable farming and significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The collected plastic is viewed as a resource \u2014 a large portion of it is recycled at the Reviva<\/a> recycling facility in Korsberga, Sm\u00e5land, where it is processed into new raw material for plastic products.<\/p>\n

The recycling requirements are driven by both environmental considerations and a long-term perspective on resource management. In 2025, approximately 26,000 tonnes of agricultural plastic were collected in Sweden by our subcontractor, Kretslopp & Recycling i Sverige AB<\/a>. By sorting correctly, you help keep recycling fees down and contribute to more efficient handling.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
