Innovation is part of inpEV’s day-to-day life since the beginning of its activities, when it designed a unique reverse logistics system for empty crop protection packaging in Brazil.
To innovate means to define strategies and improve processes to gain efficiency and expand the coverage of the Campo Limpo System. One example of this are the itinerant collection units, considered strategic for the operation of the System. In 2017, the SCL conducted 4,900 itinerant collection actions, which approached farmers with difficulties to return the empty packages to receiving units or outposts. This initiative is one way to service the various cities where the construction of a physical unit is not feasible.
For this, the association organizing the itinerant receiving units promotes communication campaigns intended to notify farmers that this activity is being conducted in their region.
To increase the capillarity of the System is one of inpEV’s concerns, which has been studying other forms of receipt. Examples of how the Institute has sought to innovate in its operations are described below.
