Study Title: Agricultural plastic usage and recycling perspectives in the Midwest farming region

• Purpose and activity: We are conducting this research to understand what plastic waste farmers are
generating in the Midwest farming region and the interest in an Ag-recycling program. This research
study involves completing one (1) online survey. Participation in the research is completely voluntary
and refusal to participate or to withdraw will result in no penalty or loss of benefits.
• Duration: We anticipate that your participation in this research study will take about 10 - 15 minutes.
• Compensation: There is no compensation for participating in this survey
• Risks: No significant risks are expected to result from participation in this study.
• Privacy and Confidentiality: We will not ask for any personally identifying information (e.g. name or
address). Data will only be reported in aggregate. However, there is still a small possibility that your data
may have an unanticipated loss related to human or computer security error.
• Use of data: The de-identified, aggregated survey information will be analyzed by National Institute of
Standards and Technology researchers and incorporated into one or more technical reports that may be
published. This data will also likely be used or shared with other researchers in future research efforts.
Note that as the researchers will not have access to any of your personal information related to your
data, it will not be possible to honor requests to delete your data from the study after you have
submitted it.
