The responsibility of farmers and companies providing pesticide services does not end with the reasonable, professional and safe application of pesticide products. In all cases, the resulting waste must also be taken into account, the proper management of which is of paramount importance for the protection of human health and the environment. All tools and materials contaminated with pesticide products, as well as damaged, unidentifiable, expired pesticide products are classified as hazardous waste, and there are strict rules for their management.

These were collected by Nébih in its latest professional briefing. When using pesticide products, it is always necessary to ensure the proper cleaning of contaminated packaging and the safe management of waste. It is important that packaging waste is collected and stored in a locked place until disposal (for a maximum of 1 year), ensuring that it is not accessible to unauthorized persons. It is also important that a continuous record of this waste (its quantity and type) must be kept. The Packaging Equipment Collection System of Cseber Nonprofit Kft. is of considerable help to farmers and service providers. The Kft. operates more than 150 collection points, where all emptied and cleaned packaging materials can be dropped off.
