CMS – Experience I/II
Benefits
1. 561.66 ton of recovered empty containers represents 51.83% of the
total quantity placed on the market; by comparison, national overall
target for recovery was of 48% in 2010 -> cleaner environment;
2. Increase visibility of industry‘s efforts for a cleaner environment;
3. It is an efficient exercise for industry;
4. Environmental protection practices and benefits.
Obstacles and Painpoints
1. Reaching national (progressive) targets for recycling (in 2010
industry recycling percentage = 0);
2. National legislation demands high target of recycling, whereas
ECPA guidelines are very cautious when recycling is about empty
packages of PPP, when traceability of operations is difficult;
3. Technical limitations of the market for recycling multi-layer HDPE.

CMS – Experience II/II
Needs:
1. Ensure that reprocessing and recycling of containers into new
products is safe to health and the environment – increase
traceability
2. Improve risk assessments.
3. Continue to raise awareness amongst farmers regarding proper
disposal of PPP packaging waste.
Next Steps:
Development towards segments not yet covered by SCAPA: micro-
packaging, obsolete stocks, empty containers of seed treatment
products
