inpEV (National Institute of Empty Packaging Processing) is a private non-profit organization company, formed by 98 member companies. Created in 2001 to represent the agrochemical manufacturing sector and promote the environmentally appropriate disposal of post-consumption crop protection packaging in Brazil, its operations are based on the dynamics of reverse logistics, being responsible for the integration and coordination of all the links of this chain. |GRI G4-3, G4-6, G4-7|

By having as members manufacturers and sellers of products registered by the Ministry of Agriculture, Cattle and Supply (Mapa), inpEV was constituted to comply with Federal Law Nr. 9.974/2000 and Decree 4.074/2002, which instituted the concept of shared accountability regarding the correct disposal of empty crop protection packaging. The legislation defines reverse logistics and assigns to farmers the obligation to return the material to retailers who, in turn, must return it to the manufacturers for final disposal.

inpEV is considered the coordinator and intelligence center of the entire Campo Limpo System (SCL), having 98 crop protection manufacturing companies as members, besides 260 distribution and cooperative members throughout Brazil, 12 recycling partners and three incinerators. It has 63 employees between the São Paulo office, the self-owned management central stations in Taubaté. (SP), Rondonópolis (MT) and Alto Parnaíba (MA), besides ten regional coordinators spread throughout Brazil.

By the end of 2015, SCL had 410 receiving units (113 central stations and 297 outposts) located in 25 states of the country and in the Federal District. In order to facilitate the return by small producers and increase the System’s capilarity, Itinerant Receipts (RIs) are carried out, which mainly cover locations where production dynamics do not justify maintaining a fixed infrastructure. |GRI G4-4, G4-8, G4-9|
