In 2017, seven units were inaugurated, one of which was a central unit located in Santarém, state of Pará. Also in 2017, the Uruçuí units, PI, started to be directly managed by inpEV, becoming the sixth unit under the Institute’s direct management.
The construction of the Placas sUnit, in Bahia state, was concluded. The new receiving unit should start operations in 2018 and will be directly managed by inpEV.
Receipt of
post-consumption leftovers
In 2017, 99 receiving units were ready to collect packaging with post-consumption crop protection leftovers. The adaptation process of these units was started in 2015 and was later extended to the outposts. The goal was to have 50 of them capable of receiving packages with post-consumption leftovers in 2017, which has been met.
Any “post-consumption leftover” or “packaging containing waste” regularly manufactured and sold in Brazil and registered with the competent agencies that are in possession of farmers having an expired good through date or that have been damaged making them impossible to be used are considered leftover crop protection material. The physical adjustments to the receiving units included the definition of a specific space for storage, among other requirements of Conama Resolution 465/14. The units that are not managed by inpEV received instructions from the Institute during the entire infrastructure adaptation process and licensing procedures.
By the end of 2017, 99 central receiving units and 50 outposts had already been licensed to receive post-consumption leftovers. During 2017, 86,762 kilograms of leftover post-consumption products were sent to environmentally appropriate destinations by the Campo Limpo System.

Conama Resolution 465/14
It establishes the requirements and minimum technical criteria required for the environmental licensing of facilities intended to receive crop protection packaging that is empty or contains waste.
A model
for other sectors
inpEV’s activities are considered a benchmark in terms of reverse logistics in Brazil and in the world. The Institute is being sought after by representatives of other sectors, interested in developing reverse logistics programs due to the sanctioning of federal Law nr. 12,305 of August 2, 2010, which instituted the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS).
Within this context, inpEV and Abisolo (Brazilian Association of the Technology Industries in Plant Nutrition) signed a contract to carry out a reverse logistics pilot project for packages of leaf, organo-mineral and organic fertilizers, besides plant substrates and soil conditioners. The receiving units of Ponta Grossa, PR; Rondonópolis, MT; and Patrocínio, MG, are participating in this pilot project, scheduled to continue until February, 2018.
