New vineyard biodegrable clips a game changer for wine growers

It's estimated that New Zealand vineyards are using around 30 million plastic ties each year to help with pest control and protection of vines.

That's a lot of microplastic pollution for the environment.

It's hoped a newly developed biodegrable clip will help to reduce the plastic waste usually associated with annual tending of vines globally.

Polynatural is making the clips, their sales and marketing general manager speaks to Jesse.
