One of BRA Agroquímica's main objectives has always been the commitment to sustainability. Therefore, since the beginning of its operations, the organization has been associated with inpEV (National Institute for Empty Packaging Processing), a non-profit entity created by pesticide manufacturers, which determines the correct destination of their product packaging.

According to inpEV, in 2017, Brazil correctly disposed of 44,51 thousand tons of pesticide packaging, a number that represents 94% of primary plastic packaging sold legally.

In this scenario, Mato Grosso, considered the largest national grain producer, was the state that correctly sent the largest quantity of empty pesticide packaging, accounting for 23% of the total. The State of Paraná was responsible for allocating the equivalent of 13% of the national total (just over 5,76 thousand tons). Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo contributed around 10% each of what was received throughout Brazil.

Through the Campo Limpo system, inpEV states that 450 thousand tons of this material were removed from the fields in 15 years of operation.
