Abstract

The current intensification of the use of plastic materials in agriculture, although has increased significantly the productivity, is also generating growing adverse effects on the environment of the agro-ecosystem. The agriculture is responsible for a massive use of plastic materials, in addition to energy and water inputs, chemical fertilizer and pesticides. Besides the pollution generated during the manufacture, at the end of their lifetime plastic materials used for crop covering, soil mulching, packaging, containers, pots, irrigation and drainage pipes, may became a pollution source when improperly disposed, leaved on the ground or burned. Instead the agricultural plastic waste (APW), if correctly collected, can be used as a new secondary raw material or as an energy source. An adequate APW management can prevent economical losses and environmental damages.

The territory of the Barletta, Andria, Trani Province (BAT), in the Apulia Region, South Italy, is an agricultural area characterized by vineyards, olive groves, orchards and vegetables; it represents an area of intense production of plastic wastes and with a widespread problem linked to the application of unacceptable disposal practices.

The goal of this study is to define and quantify the different types of plastic waste produced by the agricultural practice in a restricted area of the municipal area of Trani and Barletta, to localize the points where the most remarkable quantities of them are generated, and to provide the local Authorities and the decision makers of a useful tool for implementing an efficient and effective waste management. A dedicated geo-referenced database was designed using land use maps in a GIS environment and applying a methodology that can be functional for any kind of agricultural plastic waste. The resulting database gives updated and complete information on the plastic waste generation, over the land, related to the cultivation kind.

农业塑料废物地图
目前农业中塑料材料使用的集约化虽然大大提高了生产力,但也对农业生态系统的环境产生了越来越大的不利影响。除了能源和水的投入、化肥和杀虫剂之外,农业还需要大量使用塑料材料。除了生产过程中产生的污染外,用于作物覆盖、土壤覆盖、包装、容器、花盆、灌溉和排水管的塑料材料在其使用寿命结束时,如果处理不当、留在地上或燃烧,可能成为污染源。相反,如果正确收集,农业塑料废物(APW)可以用作新的二次原料或能源。适当的APW管理可以防止经济损失和环境破坏。巴列塔、安德里亚、特拉尼省(BAT)位于意大利南部普利亚地区,是一个以葡萄园、橄榄园、果园和蔬菜为特征的农业区;它是一个大量生产塑料废物的地区,并且由于采用不可接受的处置做法而存在广泛的问题。本研究的目的是定义和量化特拉尼和巴莱塔市区限定区域内农业实践产生的不同类型的塑料废物,定位产生最显著数量的塑料废物的点,并为地方当局和决策者提供实施高效和有效废物管理的有用工具。设计了一个专门的地理参考数据库,使用地理信息系统环境中的土地使用地图,并采用了一种可用于任何种类农业塑料废物的方法。由此产生的数据库提供了有关土地上与耕作种类有关的塑料废物产生的最新和完整的信息。
