NON-RINSEABLE FRACTION
Non-rinseable packaging and residues of plant protection products cannot be recycled today. These are combusted to recover energy (valorisation). What exactly are non-rinseable fractions? A good example is containers that cannot be rinsed, such as seed disinfection products. Doing so is prohibited. Other examples include agrochemical product packaging, such as cardboard, metal, paper and aluminium foil, drum seals and boxes for multiple containers contaminated with spilt product.
OTHER POINTS NEEDING ATTENTION
1
Logo required
Ensure that you only offer packaging with the AgriRecover logo. This guarantees that they are suitable for our recycling process.
2
Use AgriRecover bags
Pack the non-rinseable fractions in the special AgriRecover bags with a capacity of 400 liters. This ensures efficient and safe collection.
3
Original packaging
Deliver all residues of plant protection products in their original, well-sealed packaging. This prevents leaks and makes processing safer and easier.
4
Collect caps
Collect the caps in a box or bag of your choice. Ensure they are well separated from other waste fractions for smooth collection.
