Packaging for plant nutrients, plant protection products and ensiling agents goes to energy recovery, i.e. incineration.
Packages that have contained water-soluble products must be thoroughly cleaned, drip-dry and with the lid removed. The lids are left loose
Cans with easy connect-lock (or equivalent closed transfer system), if the intended filling-cleaning equipment has been used, the lids can remain on the can
Other packages such as IBC containers, cans or bottles from detergent, oil, etc. are not included in the system and are therefore not accepted.

Clean cans like this
Clean containers for water-soluble products such as plant nutrients, plant protection products and ensiling agents like this.

1. Fill the package about 1/5 with water, put the lid on.
2. Shake the package so that the rinsing water reaches the entire inside. Rinse water from cans that have contained water-soluble product must be disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.
3. Packaging for plant protection products is cleaned immediately after emptying and the rinsing liquid is poured directly into the sprayer.
4. Repeat the rinsing procedure at least three times with water. Let the package drain (upside down) until it is drip-dry.

If the supplier provides special instructions, these must be followed.

Packaging should be cleaned to:

The empty packaging should not be classified as hazardous waste and can then be sent for energy recovery.
Reduce the risk of harm to both people and the environment. The entire contents should be useful.
