A new range of eco-friendly chemicals and teat sprays developed by Morrison Agri has just be launched to the market after an 18-month design and development phase. As well as being ecofriendly, the Fusion range of chemicals and teat sprays is also waste-free. “Our approach to chemical and teat spray supply is completely different,” says Morrison Agri managing director Paul Morrison. “Instead of buying each 200L of product in a single use plastic drum, our product is pumped from a truck into a 200L drum that lives on the farm for as long as it needs to. Our bulk tanks are then returned to the factory and re lled.” Morrison Agri also developed a recycling initiative in 2019, when it saw a responsibility to help its customers to continue to reduce their environmental footprint. ”We commissioned an internally driven initiative to look into options for recycling rubberware,” Paul says. “After months of research and many meetings, we are now proud to be able to offer recycling of any brand of rubberware to all customers throughout Canterbury and North Otago. This can be rubberware products from milk liners or tubing, to bowl seals and jetter cups, anything rubber.” When customers purchase a replacement product, Morrison Agri’s mobile vans pick up the used rubberware from farms and transport it to a container based in the company’s Ashburton yard. Once the container is full, it is shipped to a recycling partner and repurposed back into the agricultural sector. A Morrison Agri rotary shed.
