Manager of the Campo Limpo System, the Brazilian reverse logistics system for empty crop protection packaging

Introduction

This publication brings the main 2022 results and highlights of the Campo Limpo System, the Brazilian reverse logistics system for empty crop protection packaging or that containing post-consumption leftovers, and of the National Institute for Processing Empty Packages (inpEV), the managing entity of the System.

Message from the president

“Among our achievements in 2022, the year in which we reached 700,000 tons of environmentally-friendly disposal of empty crop protection packaging, are the inclusion of more receiving stations in the Integrated Management Program, the System expansion to keep pace with the new agricultural frontiers, with new units already built and ongoing works, and the implementation of a new process that will allow us to recycle 100% of flexible crop protection packaging”

João César M. Rando
inpEV presiding director

Innovation & technology

In 2022, innovations in the final disposal phase were the highlight, such as that which allows received flexible packaging to be recycled, which increases the Campo Limpo System revenue and further leverages the circular economy. To foster the culture of innovation among the team, the Institute also rolled out the Good Ideas program.

Economic feasibility

inpEV surpassed the financial support reduction goal established for 2022 by almost R$ 6 million. This was the second consecutive year in which the initially projected value was exceeded. An optimization example comes from the Central Stations' Integrated Management Program, which from 2019 to 2022 guaranteed savings of R$ 8.7 million to the Campo Limpo System.

Operational eco-efficiency

With the existence of the Campo Limpo System, 974,100 tons of CO₂e were avoided to the atmosphere since 2002. Despite a positive inert environmental impact, inpEV works to expand the eco-efficiency of its operations. In 2022, the mini photo-voltaic plant of the Guariba (SP) central station started its operations, which produced, from March to December, 20.94 MWh, avoiding the emission of more than 20 tons of CO₂e.

Education and awareness

The Campo Limpo Environmental Educational Program (PEA) impacted 243,900 students from 4^th and 5^th grades of Elementary Education in 2022, a 25% growth compared to the preceding year. The National Clean Field Day (DNCL) celebrations counted with 32,800 participants and experienced a first time ever environmental mobilization, which resulted in 150,000 tree seedlings being planted.
