Netafim USA Awarded $2 Million By CalRecycle To Expand Recycling Operation

A $2.01 million grant from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) through the state’s Recycled Fiber, Plastic, and Glass Grant Program. One of five awarded grants, the $2.01 million award will fund the expansion of Netafim’s closed-loop recycling operation to collect, shred, wash, and pelletize an additional 9,612 tons per year of used irrigation tubing at the end of the material’s useful life. 

NEW Name - Netafim ReGen™ Recycling

The rebrand comes on the heels of the successful launch of Netafim’s Streamline X ReGen™ dripline and the receipt of a $2.01 million grant from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle).
