Washing and returning lids and empty packaging of pesticides is the rural producer’s obligation

With full engagement of all links in the agricultural production chain, the Campo Limpo System, a Brazilian reverse logistics program in the field, has maintained a disposal rate of 94% of empty agricultural pesticide packaging, which makes Brazil a global reference in environmentally friendly disposal. correct material. 

Within the principles of shared responsibility, rural producers must, when preparing the product syrup for application, wash and unusable the packaging according to the manufacturer's recommendations: triple washing or pressure washing. By doing this and taking the material to the fixed or itinerant unit for return, the producer, in addition to fulfilling its responsibility within the Campo Limpo System, works towards more sustainable agriculture, allowing Brazil tocontinues to be the only country in the world to manufacture new packaging for agricultural pesticides with raw materials obtained from recycling the packaging itself. This same principle applies to the lids, which undergo sorting and are then sent for recycling, creating a high-performance sealing system. 

The farmer who does not deliver the packaging and lids to duly authorized locations, and within the established deadline, is breaking the law and may be held administratively, civilly and criminally liable, in accordance with the provisions of Laws 7.802, of 1989, and 9.605, of 12 February 1998. Following legal regulations allows only that which meets the required quality standards to be recycled. As a result, what is produced by partner recyclers of the Campo Limpo System serves the agricultural pesticide manufacturing industry and closes the life cycle of packaging and lids within the sector itself, generating resources that are reinvested in the maintenance and operation of reverse logistics in the field. , assisting in the self-sufficiency of the System.
