jdc Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Unless you have lots of industrial customers I can't see this being a winner - can you encourage your farmer customers to bring the plastic to you by you offering them a cheaper rate I haul my plastic 15 miles once a year - no charge for clean white plastic (fert bags etc) and charges £80/tonne for dirty and coloured plastic (Nitram bags/silage wrap) Think I only had 600kg in total last year, but it filled the grain trailer. No big deal at the moment although soon I made need a licence to move it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 The ass has fallen out of the plastic world now... so don't be surprised at a huge hike in prices for collection chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Basically.. as I understand it... China have simply 'closed the doors' to the outside world... Everyone (including myself) is sitting on it for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeredriver Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Man thats got to blow @ss I have no idea why the rest of the world made it to a point that they rely on china for nearley everything over here the price of weedkiller shot up nearly 4 times the cost of what it was last year beacause china shut down there chemical plants for the olympic games as the plants stink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 well looks like there's yer next business opertunity mark , you now have to get some moulds & recycle the plastic yerself ! i'm sure B&Q wont mind selling plastic patio sets made from silage sheet & fertiliser bags !. not as daft as you might think often thought about it meself \ other option is to get some smaller casts & melt the plastic down to build some of the modelers machinery ,i'm sure gav & dan would love to see his harvesters & trailers cast in recycled plastic instead of resin got another one ....... get a mould from the old 100style MF weights & cast some to sell in CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
