What CAMPO LIMPIO Perú does

Campo Limpio Perú is a private non-profit civil association (Asociación Civil Privada sin fines de lucro) founded on May 4, 2006, by leading agrochemical companies operating in Peru. The organization's core function is the integral and responsible management of empty agrochemical containers generated by agricultural activity. Its technical methodology centers on the Triple Lavado (Triple Rinse) procedure — a three-step decontamination technique validated by FAO, OMS, and OECD international standards and officially recognized by SENASA through R.D.Nº 0033-2015-MINAGRI-SENASA-DIAIA. The organization operates two processing plants (Trujillo and Ica) and a national network of 14–15 collection centers (centros de acopio) distributed across Peru's principal agricultural regions (Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, Ancash, Lima, Ica, Arequipa, Junín, and others), reaching farmers through regional field coordinators organized into zones (Norte I, Norte II, Centro, Sur I, Sur II, Sierra y Selva).

The organization's service portfolio comprises the core container collection and recycling/disposal service, the Triple Lavado training and certification methodology, the Buenas Prácticas Agrícolas (BPAs) educational program covering 12 agricultural best practices, and the Cuidagro instructor certification program launched in 2024 in partnership with Cultivida, CropLife Latinoamérica, SENASA, and IICA. By 2018, Campo Limpio had received and properly managed over 1,150 tonnes of empty agrochemical containers and trained more than 44,000 people in safe agrochemical handling.

The organization's revenue model is funded primarily through recurring membership contributions from 43+ agrochemical company members including Adama, BASF, Bayer, Syngenta, UPL, FMC, ARIS Industrial, HORTUS, FARMEX, and approximately 35–40 other regional and international players. No fees are charged to farmers for collection services. The board of directors is composed of senior representatives from member companies (President: José María Quimper del Valle of ADAMA; Vice-President: Leandro Stella Volpato of UPL; Treasurer: Héctor Alfredo Sánchez Estela of HORTUS). The organization reports no private equity, venture capital, or external institutional investment, and no revenue figures are publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• CropLife International: Global umbrella organization representing the plant science industry, including stewardship programs like Campo Limpio. Comparable at the parent-association level, providing policy advocacy, technical standards, and the international framework that supports national container management programs.
• CropLife Latin América: Regional industry association that provides the framework agreement under which Campo Limpio Perú operates, alongside similar container management programs across Latin America. It is directly comparable as the umbrella coordination body for EPR-style empty agrochemical container programs.

Direct peers

• SIGFITO (Portugal): Portuguese integrated management system for empty agricultural packaging waste, operating collection centers and processing facilities. Highly comparable as an EU-based EPR program for agrochemical containers with a similar member-funded stewardship model.
• Adivalor (France): France's industry-led agricultural waste recovery program for empty pesticide containers, fertilizer bags, and related ag-input packaging. Directly comparable as one of the most mature EPR systems for agrochemical containers globally, with established collection, processing, and recycling infrastructure.
• Campo Limpio México: Mexico's parallel Campo Limpio program for empty agrochemical container management, also operating under CropLife Latin América's framework. Directly comparable in service offering, member-funded non-profit structure, and triple washing methodology, though operating at larger geographic scale.
• Cleanfarms (Canada): Canadian industry-funded non-profit that manages empty agricultural container and other on-farm waste recovery programs. Closely comparable in non-profit industry stewardship model, EPR-style container collection mandate, and member-funded operations across Canadian agricultural regions.
• Campo Limpio Chile: Chilean counterpart operating under the same Campo Limpio brand for empty agrochemical container management. Directly comparable given geographic proximity, similar agricultural sector structure, and shared CropLife framework.
• InPEV (Instituto Nacional de Processamento de Embalagens Vazias): Brazil's national empty agrochemical container management system, operating a network of receiving units and processing facilities across Brazil. Highly comparable as the largest and most mature program of the same type in Latin America, sharing the same end-of-life pesticide container mandate and CropLife affiliation.
• Campo Limpio Argentina: Argentina's agrochemical container management program under the same 'Campo Limpio' brand. Operates a national network of collection centers and processing facilities with identical triple washing methodology, funded by agrochemical industry members — a direct functional twin to Campo Limpio Perú.
• A.E.V.A. (Asociación Española para la Valorización de Envases): Spanish industry association managing the recovery of empty agrochemical containers under EPR regulations. Comparable as an EU-based, member-funded stewardship program for the same end-of-life container stream, with mature collection infrastructure.
