The results of the pilot project “Collecting and recycling waste pesticide containers in the Voronezh region 2012–2015” were presented by Tatiana Belousovich, Government Relations Manager, Crop Protection & Seeds, AEB, at the First International Recycling Forum (Agricultural Plastics – Potential for Recycling) on 4–6 November in Wiesbaden (Germany).

The forum brought together 120 participants from 22 countries including the European Union, the USA, and Canada. The international experts expressed their full support and approval for the pilot project, organised by the AEB Crop Protection Committee together with the Russian Union of Crop Protection Chemicals Manufacturers. Although the pilot stage is completed, the pesticide producing companies intend to continue fulfilling their responsibilities for waste container management and to implement it in new locations.
