The head of the ministry emphasized that every single plastic product and tool used in agriculture that goes to Green Technology Kft. is no longer waste, but the raw material for recycling, so it can be used again. Plastic tools that are no longer used do not damage the environment. István Nagy emphasized that it was a good decision to support the establishment of a collection network for the collection of agricultural films. The next objective is to install agglomerating machines next to the collection points of the network, he said, adding that in this way the finished agglomerate only needs to be transported to the product processing locations, which would also serve a sustainable future due to less harmful emissions. The Minister of Agriculture said about Green Technology Kft. in Lébény that the company’s developments are important milestones for Hungarian agriculture. He added: in the production of new products, they also count on the opinions of farmers as to what they need most.
Irrigation pipes are made in a large factory
Lajos Nagy, the owner-manager of Green Technology Kft., said that the drip and irrigation pipe production equipment installed with HUF 250 million can produce fifty kilometers of products in 24 hours. With the equipment, they can produce drip pipes with a diameter of 16 and 20 millimeters and a main spine with a diameter of 25 millimeters. With the development, the number of employees at the site increased to 15, which is almost double the previous number of employees. Lajos Nagy recalled that dry agglomeration was launched in Lébény in the spring of 2021, which received the environmentally friendly trademark. At the same time, a network of one hundred collection points was established in the country for the collection of no longer used agricultural films and other plastic products. According to public company information data, the Mosonmagyaróvár-based company’s sales revenue in 2021 was HUF 537.5 million, HUF 429 million more than a year earlier. Its taxable profit was HUF 51.1 million, which increased by HUF 44.2 million compared to 2020.
