Industry Leaders views on Product Stewardship.....

Burning and burying empty containers of stockpiled old chemicals are outdated practices that no longer have a place in Australian agriculture,” said Geoff Kendell recently, Chairman of the Victorian Farmers Federation Agricultural and Veterinary Committee. 

“DeLaval is making a concerted effort to consider the total life cycle of each product from its raw material origin and production to usage and disposal/recycling throughout the world. Every contribution helps,” said Mark Brummel, Managing Director of DeLaval. 

“The mentality that the manufacturer and user of a product bear no responsibility for product stewardship is outdated," said Mike Goodyer, the National Business Manager for drumMUSTER and ChemClear.
