Argentina continues to advance the implementation of a national system for the management of pesticide containers, aimed at reducing environmental impacts and promoting circular economy practices within the agri-industrial sector. The system currently operates through more than 94 collection centers across the country and has enabled the recovery of over 22 million kilograms of plastic since its implementation.
Within the framework of Law 27,279, empty containers are managed under traceability, safety, and control criteria, preventing their abandonment in the environment and reducing risks to human health and ecosystems. Recovered materials are subsequently transformed into reusable inputs and reintroduced into the productive chain as part of a regulated circular economy scheme.
This initiative represents a concrete step forward in environmental management within agriculture, demonstrating how regulatory frameworks and operational systems can generate measurable, long-term sustainability outcomes.
