Brazilian recycling of empty pesticide containers hit a new annual record in 2010. Preliminary figures from the pesticide container disposal organisation, the inpEV, show that it collected over 31,266 tonnes in 2010, up around 9% on the same period a year earlier. It claimed to be the world’s leading recycler in 2009 ( Agrow No 566, p 20).
