The problem of plastic is today a global issue in all industries and, in agriculture, it is present in numerous products due to its almost unmatched qualities, such as versatility and durability.For this reason, its use has been limited -especially single-use- through regulations, the creation of new technologies and, of course, awareness and social awareness of the impact of indiscriminate use and the relevance of recycling.In this, some companies are pioneers.Polytex has been manufacturing products derived from plastic based on polyethylene, polypropylenes, additives and virgin resins for more than 30 years for sectors as diverse as mining, construction, reservoirs, landfills and agriculture, among others, having As a slogan, adapt to the needs of each client and industry, contributing with world-class technology, high quality standards and a responsible approach to the environment.With three plants in South America;two in Chile and one in Peru, Polytex offers a mix of products for the sector that includes GeoSynthetics (geomembranes, geotextiles, GeoNet, geocomposites, GCL and flexible ponds);smooth and corrugated pipes, HDPE, special pieces, fittings and accessories;in addition to meshes and plastic fabrics (shade nets (Raschel) anti-aphids, windbreaks, GroundCover, transparent woven raffia and thermal blanket)."Our products are manufactured in Chile, and are recognized in Latam for their price and quality," says Jaime Bustamante, Polytex's Agroindustrial & Home business manager, who also highlights that they have "tailor-made solutions, with specialists in the agricultural world, who have an orientation in increasing the yield of m2 of cultivation per hectare, by, orientation in the protection of crops against climatic adversities, increasing the efficiency of the water resource and the decrease in the use of agrochemicals.The Sustainable Horticulture company, which has products and services for agriculture, construction, gardening and the cultivation of orchards and domestic fruit trees, is one of Polytex's clients.Peter Stefanowsky, owner and general manager, explains that "so that our proposal is coherent, we have selected supplier companies that are in line with us and that, within their strategic pillars, have sustainability".In this sense, Stefanowsky says that he has known Polytex in his 33 years of experience in the field and that once he started his venture "I always had Polytex as one of the first alternatives in terms of the provision of rachel mesh, anti-weed mesh, thermal blankets and other related products, since they have always provided me with excellent sales and after-sales service, in addition to having a very good quality in their products and at a very competitive price”.In addition, the executive of Sustainable Horticulture, indicates that "it is a company that makes a great effort to find solutions for the recycling of its products (after their useful life has expired) and to present solutions for the different segments that its business covers, for what my experience with my agricultural and gardening business has been very rewarding”.And so Jaime Bustamante ratifies it.“We have a recycling center that allows us to reduce, recycle and reuse Polyethylene, HDPE and Polypropylene.Our clients bring us the PFU (Plastics out of use), take a new product and only pay the difference”.This is no small matter, since, according to the commercial manager of Polytex, for every ton of recycled plastic, the carbon footprint is reduced by 3.7 tons of CO2, which is equivalent to removing 100 vehicles from the automotive fleet.Likewise, that ton is equivalent to reducing the water footprint of 62m3 of water, that is, a subsistence risk of one hectare or drinking water for 5,000 people.For this reason, Polytex's challenges are to continue developing new products that contribute to an industry that invests and innovates responsibly and efficiently: "This year, through our specialist agricultural and R&D areas, we achieved the PolyCover, a fruit tree with a five-year guarantee, and PolyShade, used for cherry trees in a state of dormancy, to favor the accumulation of cold hours, since it is essential for producers to obtain an early harvest to reach the 'Chinese New Year', of which On the contrary, cultivation is not profitable”, says Jaime Bustamante, who also closes with a long-term challenge as a company: “From our strategic plan, we want to continue our customer-centric orientation, which has allowed us to optimize brand resources with a mix of solutions aimed at the various productive sectors”, he concludes.Contact: Hernán Cavada ConchaCreate a new account |Do not you remember your password?You can see how this popup was set up in our step-by-step guide: https://wppopupmaker.com/guides/auto-opening-announcement-popups/
