The EU Waste Directive forbids burning plastic waste on farms. Fertiliser bags, silage wrap and seed bags are made from plastics that can be recycled. With financial support from Leicestershire County Council, Allerton bought a machine which crushes plastic waste into 200-400 kg bales that are recycled for the construction industry. Now 100 farms pay GB£200 membership of the Farm Plastics Recovery Club, with a local plastic collection point for members once a month. There is also purchased a plastic chipping machine which converts plastic pesticide containers into tiny chips for easy recycling.

Loddington is at the heart of the catchment for the 17 km Eye Brook, a tributary of the River Welland. The stream feeds Eyebrook Reservoir, originally an industrial source of water but now an important trout fishery and designated site for conserving migratory waterfowl in winter. Allerton contributes to the Eye Brook Community Heritage Project , from which activities are published in a newsletter, The Eye.

Another way to manage the complexity of balancing farm production, regulations and other environmental intentions is a system that registers all these issues for each field. CabCards provide advice for farmers, agents and contractors, to help avoid mistakes that can create hazards, damage habitats or reduce agri-environment payments. A map can be registered on-line for each of up to 50 fields, for which details can be added with a simple tick-box system.
