inpEV G4-3, 4, 5, 6 & 7

The National Institute for Processing Empty Packages (inpEV - Instituto Nacional de Processamento de Embalagens Vazias) is a non-profit organization created by crop protection manufacturers. One hundred companies and nine entities representative of the sector comprise the organization.

The creation of the Institute was a response to Federal Law nr. 9.974/2000, which instituted the concept of shared responsibilities in the correct disposal of post-consumption crop protection packages, whereby farmers became responsible for returning such material to retailers (distribution channels), which in turn should return them to manufacturers for final disposal.

In order to put into practice this reverse logistics system, inpEV acts as an intelligence nucleus of the Campo Limpo System (SCL) and articulates all links in the chain to correctly dispose of packages in a definite fashion.

SCL has 415 receiving units (central stations or outposts), located in 25 states of the country and in the Federal District. In order to reach the most remote locations and increase the adhesion of small farmers, it also offers itinerant collections, which mainly cover locations where production dynamics do not justify the upkeep of a fixed infrastructure (more about SCL on Sistema Campo Limpo).
