Triple water rinsing does not always render waste plastic pesticide containers non-hazardous waste.

After pesticide application onto crops, waste plastic pesticide containers (WPPC) may still contain residual active substances (AS) that are typically hazardous. Specific limits exist per pesticide active substance to classify WPPC as hazardous or non-hazardous wastes. The most frequent limit is 0.

A modeling methodology to predict the generation of wasted plastic pesticide containers: An application to Greece.

Plant protection products (pesticides) are used throughout the world in the form of various types, such as insecticides, fungicides, herbicides etc. High Density Polyethylene is the principal material that those containers are made of. The aim of the study was to determine the factors that statistically affect the generation of the resulting wasted plastic pesticide containers after pesticide application.
