This voluntary initiative concerns the management of the end of life of chemical PPE, used during the use of plant protection products or treated seeds:
> nitrile or neoprene gloves,
> very toxic dust masks (FFP3 type),
> respiratory masks with FFP3 or A2P3 cartridges,
> hoods or protective visors, glasses,
> filters, cartridges,
> limited-use aprons and coveralls,
> limited-use boots, over boots and cuffs,
> reusable protective clothing for plant protection work*.
Specialized suppliers who display the "ECO EPI" logo contribute to the financing of the program, via an eco-contribution included in the sale price of new PPE.
* C1, C2 or C3 type clothing and compliant with ISO 27065-2017 or clothing dedicated to plant protection treatments certified in 65% polyester and 35% cotton with a weight of 230 g / cm2 or more with a water repellent treatment (in accordance with the opinion of the French legal base “JORF” of 3rd July 2016)
