Circular ModelFor every 100 empty crop protection packages received by the System, 94 are recycled and 6 are incinerated 94% of primary packages placed in the market are disposed in an eco-friendly manner, either by recycling or incinerationRecord volume550,000 tons of empty crop protection packaging disposed of since 2002; 45,563 tons in 2019 alone.About the Campo Limpo SystemThe engagement of different agricultural chain links - distributors, farmers, the manufacturing industry (represented by inpEV) and government - guarantees the effectiveness of the Brazilian reverse logistics program for empty crop protection packaging or those containing post-consumption leftovers.inpEVBeing the representative of manufacturers and the managing entity of the Campo Limpo System, inpEV seeks to contribute to the environment and guarantee efficiency in environmental processes, research, awareness development and education.Circular economyEcoplástica® is the first crop protection packaging manufactured using resin recycled from post-consumption packaging of this same product. Ecocap® manufacturing, a high performance sealing system, is also done according to the circular economy principle.Mesage from the president“A global reference in reverse logistics, the Campo Limpo System, besides its environmental benefits, boosts the economy and contributes in generating jobs and income”João Cesar M.

Material topics – 2019 HIGHLIGHTSOperational expansionIn 2019, two outposts were inaugurated, in Amapá and in Ceará, and one central station, in Bahia. The System relies on 411 units (107 central stations and 304 outposts) in all states of Brazil. From this total, 29 central stations are managed by inpEV.Read more about the topicHuman developmentinpEV promoted a total of 10,595 hours of training for its 185 workers during the course of 2019. Each worker received, on average, 57.27 hours of training.Read more about the topicOperational eco-efficiencyBetween 2002 and 2019, the System's activities avoided emitting 752,658 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq) into the atmosphere, which would be equal to 14,224 truck hauls around the Earth.Read more about the topicEducation and awarenessThe National Clean Field Day (DNCL) brought together 78,000 people in 2019; the PEA (Environmental Educational Program) has already reached more than 240,000 students in 2,571 schools. The PEA has been recognized as a best practice in disseminating the SDGS (Sustainable Development Goals) by the UN DESA (Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations).Read more about the topicMulti-stakeholder dialog and cooperationIn 2019, inpEV joined the Brazilian Network of the Global Compact and became a partner of Proclima, an initiative of the São Paulo State government which intends to leverage reductions in GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions.Read more about the topicLogisticsThe same vehicle that delivers crop protection products from the manufacturer to producers, wholesalers and cooperatives transports the empty packaging from the receiving stations to recyclers and incinerators. This logistical model reduces costs, the number of vehicles in traffic and emission of pollutants.Read more about the topicInnovation & technologyCurrently, one the inpEV innovation studies is focusing on increasing the traceability of the Campo Limpo System. Ecoplástica® and Ecocap® are also examples of innovation and technological development.Read more about the topicEconomic feasibilitySince 2002, R$ 1.4 billion have been invested to fund the Campo Limpo System activities. Contributions are made by all links in the chain. inpEV also remains committed towards initiatives involving efficiency, productivity gains and cost reductions.Read more about the topicPreviousNext
