Container Management Strategies What is Container Management Strategies (CMS)? Packaging plays a central role in the safe and effective delivery of the pesticide product. It also needs to be managed in a responsible way once the product has been used. The Container Management Strategies ( CMS ) is a dedicated project that has a multi-level approach and involves: The development of suitable containers, Training of users, Appropriate rinsing, and Proper waste management with monitored end use options. It’s a full cycle of activities. 4
Container Management Strategies Why do we need a good container management? Crop protection packaging that are not properly managed may increase the risk of exposure to hazard substances for users, local community, waste operators and the environment. For this reason, dirty pesticide containers are dangerous waste. They are a real burden for farmers. However, correct rinsing and management of pesticide containers by farmers and the establishment of collection schemes have motivated many countries to classify these wastes as non-hazardous and so, facilitate the operation of sustainable collection and recovery schemes. 5
Container Management Strategies Industry commitments The Crop Protection Industry : Sees its responsibility and takes care for a full product lifecycle approach Is committed to manage its packaging in an environmentally sound and sustainable way, encouraging resource conservation and reducing the waste to landfill wherever possible Supports programmes in over 70 countries worldwide (40 matures systems, 24 pilots, 6 projects in design phase) Aims to establish fully operational programs in all EU countries by 2020 with a collection rate of 75% 6
Container Management Strategies Mass of primary packaging shipped into the market Estimated as of 2014 200 000 tons 16 300 tons 36 100 tons 28 300 tons 89 300 tons Total: 370 000 tons 7 7

Container Management Strategies Countries with CMS and type of CMS Nationwide industry run CMS SIGFITO (FR) (DE) (BE+LU) (ES) (HR) (PT) (PL) (RO) (HU) (SI) Industry run pilot CMS (BG) (RS) (EL) (SK) (CY) Nationwide collection and disposal system(s), joined by industry. E.g.: (NL) (UK) (AT) (CZ) (SE) Companies contribute to a general packaging recovery organisation (CONAI ) that doesn’t collect PPP packaging. They are collected by public/private collection schemes Companies contribute to a general packaging recovery organisation (e.g. Greendot). PPP packaging waste are collected by municipal system. 10 Country with no extended producer responsibility on PPP packaging. PPP packaging waste collected by municipal system / private operators.
Container Management Strategies Industry’s overall Objectives and Achievements Target* * Covers recycling and equivalent options (e. g. energy recovery) CM pilots Recycling Energy recovery / Disposal Note: • Figures cover benchmarked countries only (BE, DE, ES, FR, HR, HU, LU, PL, PT, RO, SI) 11 • The total amount of collected material may be higher due to other routes of collection
Container Management Strategies Elements of good container management strategies 1. Selection of suitable packaging and labelling 2. Proper container rinsing (= decontamination) 3. Inspect and collect packaging via dedicated systems AVOID / REDUCE 4. Efficient logistic REUSE RECYCLE EN. RECOVERY 5. Safe material recycling or energy recovery DESTRUCTION SEQUEST- RATION 6. Clear role & responsibilities for all stakeholders 7. Work on favourable regulations 12 Multi Stakeholder Task & Shared responsibility 12
Proper container rinsing and management Each user can make the difference! 13
Proper container rinsing and management Rinsing methodologies and procedures • Triple rinsing • Pressured rinsing • Integrated rinsing 14
Proper container rinsing and management Why it is important for farmers and the system It saves farmers’ money – use all the product Protects health and the environment Prevents the production of contaminated wastewater Complies with farmers’ legal duty (Art. 4 Gov. Reg. 491/2011) Allows EU compliant implementation of GAP Facilitates non-hazardous waste classification in many countries - simplified logistic, more recovery/recycling options Reduces CMS costs - affordable plant protection products, CMS free of charge for farmers 15
