At Netafim, we believe we can do more than just deliver excellent products and services. That's why we have challenged ourselves to find greener ways of doing business. Because we know that it is becoming more difficult and costly to dispose of dripperlines into landfills. And, because we know that you are faced with dripperline disposal regulations placed on you by the government - Netafim USA is here to help with our PHX Recycling Solution.

Netafim's PHX Recycling Solution recycles your old dripperline or drip tape products into recyclable plastic products - helping to keep several million pounds of plastic out of our landfills. Reducing waste from going to landfills, reducing land from going to waste.
