agrochemical containers are conditioned on the field following established triple washing and perforation procedures. They are later sent to designated internal storage units that are equipped for this purpose. We prioritise the return of containers to suppliers or, if unable to do so, we dispose of them through Campo Limpio. This is an alternative that complies with Decree 152/13 - authorised by the DINASEA (National Directorate of Environmental Quality Assessment) and has a management plan for empty containers and obsolete stock. We are part of the NFU Recycling Master Plan (for the management of End-of-Life Tyres), ensuring that this waste is properly recycled.

We classify and manage waste according to its type, prioritising reducing, reusing and recycling. We work together with local recyclers to manage non contaminated and recyclable materials (such as plastic, glass, paper or cardboard). We establish specific classification procedures on all work fronts, which are approved and permanently monitored. Waste derived from our use of chemical products is managed in accordance with the requirements of national environmental authorities. Empty
