The continuous expansion of Brazilian agricultural production directly influences inpEV’s activities, which makes efforts and dedicates a growing volume of resources to the Campo Limpo System (SCL) to keep up with the pace of activities in the field. According to the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE [Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics]), the 2013 national production of cereals, legumes and oilseeds hit a record, reaching 188.2 million tons, 16.2% above the 2012 harvest (161.9 million tons).

Due to the increase in planted area, technological development and the advent of new pests, the consumption of crop protection products has increased year after year in Brazil - a trend observed since inpEV’s foundation in 2001. In order to keep up with this trend, the institute has improved its actions, always focusing on the environmentally correct disposal of empty packages. Besides this, it has intensified the awareness and educational campaigns aimed at farmers, among other SCL agents, under each one’s responsibility with regard to the entire reverse logistics involving this activity. By doing so, inpEV also strengthens its mission based on its own institutional values.
