About Campo Limpio
Campo Limpio is a program aimed at bringing a sustainable solution to the pesticide empty containers used in the agricultural sector. CropLife Latin America promotes this project in 18 countries, implemented by national associations with the participation of manufacturers, importers, authorities, distributors and farmers. In Bolivia, the recycling program –in charge of Apia and started in 2005- collects the empty containers from farms and performs the triple washing so as to prevent contamination. Since its inception, more than 450 tons of plastic containers have been collected from farms.
