Summary

A two level survey to establish the state of the art of plastic use was performed in Europe with more than 100 farmers.A clear tendency could be observed in the crops where plastic is used intensively(e.g.polytunnel-based crops, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers andlettuce).Most materials were made of polyethylene(PE),followed by polypropylene(PP).However,half of the interviewees did not know the exact components of the materials they use.
