The Company:
Established in 1993, Agsafe is a not-for-profit wholly owned subsidiary of CropLife Australia. Stewardship focused, Agsafe is committed to promoting the safe and responsible management of agricultural chemicals across Australia. Their mission is to support and educate the AgChem supply chain, from manufacture to end of life, to uphold the highest standards of safety and product stewardship.
Through comprehensive training programs, industry-leading certification, and recycling initiatives such as drumMUSTER, ChemClear, and bagMUSTER, they protect both people and the environment. 25 years on, drumMUSTER is a true success story, one of the nation's leading recycling programs across all industries.
