Abstract
Agricultural plastics products (e.g., bale wrap, twine, irrigation pipe, drip tape, nursery pots, maple tubing, pesticide containers, feed bags, etc.) are arrayed on the X-axis according to the primary plastic resin used in their construction and on the Y-axis by their typical level of contamination (by soil, vegetative debris, chemical residues, moisture, and/or grit).
