Caps

Caps come into contact with the phytosanitary product in the containers during use, which means they need to be carefully cleaned before they can be recycled. However, these caps can be industrially cleaned in specialized facilities. After this thorough cleaning, the caps are treated as a rinsed fraction. This means that, like other rinsed packaging, they can be safely processed and recycled into new products. By correctly collecting and cleaning these caps, you contribute to a more efficient recycling chain and help preserve valuable materials in the circular economy.
