G4-PR1 Percentage of significant products and services categories for which health and safety impacts are assessed in order to seek improvements |
inpEV’s activities ensure the proper disposal of post-consumption crop protection packages, thus reducing risks and impacts on the health and safety of society. Every received package is inspected upon arrival at the SCL central stations and outposts and a delivery compliance receipt is provided to farmers. On the other hand, non-complying packaging (not properly washed) generates a notification and is forwarded to the segregated area (unwashed product shed) and non-pertinent packages (those not used for crop protection products) are returned to producers. The health and safety impacts and improvements sought in products are also assured by means of ISO 9.001 certification, besides actions like: a) equipment preventive maintenance program; b) weight and dimensional monitoring of all finished products; c) non-compliance program for products evaluated by the recycler; d) non-compliance treatment case by case; and e) chemical residue monitoring in packages. |
