The use of plastics in horticulture is reviewed with respect to its sustainability based on the traditional criteria triple Rs (reduce, reuse, and recycling) plus a re-place strategy, taking into account possible alternatives. Hail (and insect) nets made HD-PE, their long-term mostly apple polytunnels LD-PE for cherry strawberry as well solarisation mulches (reuse), were found be relatively sus...
