Containers for pesticides and agrochemicals

Chemical plant protection agents, such as pesticides and agrochemicals, are seasonal products and their packaging shall guarantee the preservation of product quality even during long-term storage. Therefore, pesticides and agrochemicals are packaged in special containers made of polymer materials. After losing their consumer properties, they must be disposed of. Its use for storing water, food, animal feed and other household needs is strictly prohibited.

Since plastic itself is almost “eternal” material that does not decompose over time, and its burning can harm humans and the environment; the disposal of such containers should be carried out not by business entities themselves, but by a specialized enterprise.

And in the case of containers for pesticides and agrochemicals, which are allocated to a separate group of persistent organic pollutants, the problem of high toxicity and bio accumulative properties is added. Therefore, on the territory of agricultural enterprises, premises for temporary storage of containers must be provided, with a solid waterproof coating and equipment that eliminates environmental pollution in the course of waste storage. Later, empty containers from pesticides and agrochemicals must be transferred under a contract to a company professionally engaged in the processing of hazardous waste.

From now on, all farmers and agrarians of Ukraine have been provided with unprecedented opportunity to hand over their used containers from pesticides and agrochemicals to UKRECOPROM LLC for free recycling. We cover the costs of removal, transportation and treatment of plant protection agent containers entirely by ourselves. ⠀

This state of affairs became possible thanks to the introduction of partnerships between our company and world leaders in the production of pesticides, who care about the consequences of the proper use of pesticides and agrochemicals, such as “ADAMA UKRAINE” LLC, “BAYER” LLC, “UPL UKRAINE” LLC, “BAYER” LLC, “BASF T.O.V.” LLC, “NUFARM UKRAINE” LLC, “SYNGENTA” LLC, “FMS UKRAINE” LLC. Our partnership is carried out under the auspices of the European Business Association.

We also invite agents to cooperate in this project for the free recycling of used containers from pesticide and agrochemicals.

If you are engaged in agriculture or know those who accumulate packaging from plant protection agents, please let us know. We will remove such packaging from any point in Ukraine absolutely free of charge and treat it at our hazardous waste management enterprise.
