/in , , /by

Campey to launch Imants Recycling Dresser® 1.3 at SALTEX: Campey Turf Care Systems will unveil the new lightweight Imants RECYCLINGDRESSER® 1.3 on stand C050 at SALTEX 2025, alongside their range of industry-leading maintenance solutions and product specialists.

Designed specifically for use with smaller tractors, the latest Imants RECYCLINGDRESSER® 1.3 brings the proven benefits of recycling dressing to facilities that previously lacked the horsepower for larger models. By re-using and redistributing existing soil across the playing surface, the machine offers a cost-effective, sustainable approach to turf care that reduces both labour and material inputs.

Key updates include a new rear flap for faster material breakdown and drying, plus smart folding legs that double as protective side bars for easier transport and storage. The process aerates soil vertically and horizontally, eliminates compaction, boosts biological activity, and extends fertiliser effectiveness.

Visitors to the Campey stand C050 will have the chance to see the new Imants RECYCLINGDRESSER® 1.3 up close. With decades of combined knowledge across renovation, aeration, and sustainable practices, the Campey team will be on hand to offer tailored advice and guidance.

Other products worthy of a mention include the Foley Air2G2 pedestrian aerator which laterally injects air blasts to loosen up compacted soil immediately but without any disruption to the surface of the turf or the roots below. With frequent use, the Air2G2 336 creates surfaces that are healthy, firm, and ready for play immediately after treatment.

Next is the compact yet efficient Campey™ Seed Shot™.  Perfect for targeted seeding post-game, depositing a precise quantity of seed into the soil for optimal germination rates, and the equally useful Vredo Turf Buddy specially designed for overseeding areas where it is not possible to work with large machines and perfect for small repairs on sports fields and golf courses. The Vredo Turf Buddy uses the tried and tested double disc system which consistently delivers over 96% germination rates.

We will also be at the GMA Community Sports Zone, highlighting equipment including the New Holland Boomer 35 Tractor, Imants Mini RotoKnife, and Martin Lishman Nano Sprayer for Grassroots use.

Green-tech Launches Ireland’s First Tubex Recycling Hub

/in , /by

Green-tech Launches Ireland’s First Tubex Recycling Hub: Green-tech is proud to announce the launch of Ireland’s first Tubex Recycling Hub at its Irish depot in Derry.

This new facility is part of a growing initiative to support sustainability in the landscaping and forestry sectors. It offers a local, accessible solution for collecting and recycling used Tubex tree and shrub shelters.

The hub at Green-tech’s Irish depot follows the successful model of Green-tech’s Trade Centre in North Yorkshire, which has been an official drop-off hub for the Tubex Collection & Recycling Programme since June 2024.

The programme helps to reduce waste by collecting used tree shelters, which are then washed, shredded, and re-pelletised before being used to manufacture new products. This circular process aligns with Green-tech’s commitment to environmental responsibility and advancing sustainable practices within the landscaping industry.

Richard Gill, Sales Director at Green-tech, commented, “We’re thrilled to expand the Tubex Collection & Recycling Programme into Ireland with the launch of our dedicated recycling hub. As the first facility of its kind in the country, this hub provides an essential service for our Irish customers, providing them with the option to recycle their Tubex shelters. This initiative highlights our continued commitment to sustainability and the circular economy, ensuring that materials are reused and waste is minimised. We’re excited to see more clients participate and help us make a positive impact on the environment.”

The Irish Tubex Recycling Hub is one of 15 national collection points across the UK and Ireland, making it more convenient for customers to drop off their used shelters. Additionally, Green-tech offers collection services for larger quantities, ensuring that no shelter is left behind.

Green-tech a partner for Recycling Scheme

/in , /by

Green-tech a partner for Recycling Scheme: Rainbow Professional has recently launched the Rainbow Recycling Scheme in partnership with Green-tech and its other wholesalers and recycling partners to recycle any old PVC spiral or PVC vole guard.

Head of Green-tech Sales, Dean Jackson comments, “Green-tech has been proactive in their stance to reduce plastic in the landscaping and forestry industries, and we have an extensive portfolio of biodegradable and environmentally friendly tree protection materials to offer our customers choice.  It is not currently feasible to eradicate plastic totally, but we can do the next best thing – we can use recycled plastic and in partnership with Rainbow Professional, we can collect and recycle old tree spirals and give them a new life rather than leave in the environment or commit to landfill.”

For the past 25 years, Rainbow Professional has been the only tree guard manufacturer using 100% recycled materials. This is estimated to have saved at least 2 million kgs of carbon every year, 50million kg in total to-date and they have avoided virgin plastics from entering the environment.

The Rainbow Spiral Recycling Scheme is available to any professional end-user. It is simple to administer and affordable. Bags can be ordered from Green-tech or direct from Rainbow.  Once full they will be collected and transported to Rainbow’s manufacturing facility in Hull where they will be shredded and washed if needed. Depending on the quality, they may be immediately usable to process into new spirals, processed further into pellets, or used as in-fill for window frames. As Rainbow use 100% recycled materials, they have a local network of recycling partners that find the best possible outlet for each waste material.

PVC is one of the most recyclable polymers in the world; it can be used up to 9 times. Even in cases where the spiral has lost some of its properties, it can still be useful for some applications and in cases where further recycling isn’t possible, the waste materials are used to turn into energy.

Jackson continues, “We are delighted to be working with Rainbow Professional to deliver this scheme. It is recommended to remove hedge spirals between September and March when hedge plants are bare of leaves and the bird nesting season has finished. For collections of 6-15 bags (each bag will hold approximately 700 spirals), the scheme will run from April to September, outside of the planting season. However, for collection of over 15 bags, the scheme will run all year round.

Pierre Talpe from Rainbow adds,” As a manufacturer we are taking a responsible approach to protecting trees and for trying to reduce carbon in the environment by encouraging recycling and use of recycled products.  We are delighted to have Green-tech onboard with us. They are a major supplier of tree protection materials and are well respected in the industry. Their values to sustainability are aligned with our own and we are proud to be able to ‘close the loop’ from supply to collection to recycling to supply once more.”

Green-tech is running a number of webinars to explain the scheme and the process in detail.  They will be free to attend and will take around 30 minutes. The first is being held on Tuesday 25th April webinar. To reserve your place use the following link – https://bit.ly/41iMvPh
