Title: Recycling Agricultural Plastics in New York State Authors: Levitan, Lois C.; Barros, Ana Abstract: This report is a product of the Cornell “open burning group,” which formed in Winter 2002 to assess the extent and environmental health significance of open burning of household wastes and agricultural plastics in New York State, and to begin work towards reducing these practices in order to protect public health and the environment. The report focuses on agricultural plastics rather than the household waste stream for reasons that include the importance of agriculture in NYS and the role of Cornell’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) in working with NYS agriculture and the environment.

Title: Agricultural Plastic Film Recycling: Feasibility and Options in the Central Leatherstocking-Upper Catskill Region of New York State Authors: Levitan, Lois C.; Cox, David G.; Clarvoe, Martha B. Abstract: This report focuses on the plastic films used in dairy agriculture (#4 LDPE and LLDPE, low density polyethylene resins) with some attention to polypropylene baling twine; nursery/greenhouse films; and non-agricultural plastic films used in the study area. The geographical focus is the Central Leatherstocking-Upper Catskill region of New York State, particularly the southern portion within a 30-mile radius of Oneonta, NY (Otsego County). The rationale for these product-type and geographic foci is that the Central Leatherstocking-Upper Catskill region is a dairying area where agricultural plastics recycling has sparked the interest of local citizenry, the farm and recycling communities, government agency personnel, and policy-makers as a means to reduce environmental and health risks of open burning and possibly as a means for generating value-added economic activity. This report builds on prior research reported in Recycling Agricultural Plastics in New York State (Levitan and Barros 2003).

Title: New York State's Recycling Agricultural Plastics Project (RAPP): Hurdles and High Points Authors: Levitan, Lois C. Abstract: The Northeast United States supports a vibrant and diversified agriculture that generates lots of different types of plastic waste. This presentation focuses on logistical decision points in developing a sustainable recycling infrastructure and viable recycling markets suited for agriculture and non-organic agricultural wastes. The Recycling Agricultural Plastics Project (RAPP) is a Cornell University initiative working in collaboration with agricultural producers, and with organizations, agencies and businesses that support agriculture, environmental protection, regional economic development and recycling.
