Message from
the president"I would like to thank all farmers, distributors, cooperatives, manufacturers, recyclers, incinerators, authorities and all professionals that give life to the Campo Limpo System for their commitment and dedication.

inpEV CEOCampo Limpo System
It is the Brazilian reverse logistics program for empty crop protection packages or those containing post-consumption crop protection leftovers. Counting with 99 central stations and 312 outposts, besides itinerant collection stations, it ensures the correct disposal of 94% of primary packaging placed in the Brazilian market.
Record volume
Almost 50,000 tons of empty packaging disposed during 2020, a result 9.4% greater than the preceding year. Since 2002, more than 600 tons have been properly disposed from an environmental perspective.
Circular economy
The Ecoplástica® packaging and the Ecocap® sealing system use post-consumption resin from crop protection packaging and are examples of circularity. The reinsertion of these materials in the industry avoids soil and water contamination and reduces demand for fresh materials.
inpEV
It is the industry representative in the Campo Limpo System and its mission is to ensure the effectiveness of the System, environmental preservation and promote environmental awareness and education. Currently, it manages 45 of the 411 receiving stations.
