CampoLimpio News

CampoLimpio(SM)* program is an environmental solution for the empty pesticide containers utilized in agriculture. CropLife Latin America is promoting this program in 18 Latin American countries, where the program is carried out by National Associations with the participation of producers, importers, authorities, distributors and farmers.

CampoLimpio in Latin America has more than 400 collection points. Most of them are equipped with special machinery for conditioning the collected containers such as compacters an shredders, and more than 2.000 mini-collection points that facilitate the collecting process.

CampoLimpio initiated with pilot programs in Brazil and Guatemala at the beginning of the 1990. It was a difficult task that little by little consolidated in 18 Latin American countries.

CampoLimpio’s main challenge is to strengthen the commitment and the active participation of all the sectors of the agricultural chain in the process of adequately disposing of empty containers in order to broaden the area covered by the program and increase the quantity of material colleted.

The CampoLimpio Program was created out of the CropLife Latin America member companies’ commitment to the protection and preservation of the environment and human health, as well as their dedication to complete fulfillment of the International Code of Conduct on the Distribution and Utilization of Pesticides, elaborated by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, (FAO).
