What is SIGEV?
Is a System of Agrochemicals Empty Containers Management, with the goal of collecting the containers that are left in the field in the hands of the producer after their use, avoiding that they have an inadequate ending, minimizing their negative impact to the environment.
Goal
Collecting the largest number of empty containers from the field, minimizing the negative impact of these to the human health, animals and environment, raising awareness to everyone about the need of a more adequate manipulation of the containers, having as a base the triple-washing and the perforation of the containers.

Benefits
for the
environment
We work under the environmental criteria and standards, complying with all the legal and environmental requirements of the country. Considering that agribusiness produces each year approximately between 3.500 to 4.000 tons of residues; with SIGEV’s contribution in the recycling collection and right disposal of non-recyclable materials and treatment of solid and liquid residues. We contribute to nature by avoiding the empty agrochemical containers burning, burying, reusing, throwing to watercourses and tampering.
Thereby raising awareness in the community that consumes agrochemicals, along with the producer we take care of the vegetal and animal lives, watercourses, among others.
