Financial constraints are hindering the acceptance of container rinsates in Clean Sweep programs. Decommissioning obsolete Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) raises critical questions about the usability of pesticide rinsates. Dealers face limited options, often resorting to disposal. A pressing issue is whether "usable" rinsates can be returned to applicators for further use. Additionally, Ultra Low Volume (ULV) applications complicate this scenario, as containers may remain hazardous until properly rinsed. We need to explore innovative solutions for effective rinsate management.

Rinsate Management: Problems Needing Solutions • Financial pressures on Clean Sweep programs have reduced acceptance of container rinsates • Decommissioning of obsolete IBCs creates pesticide rinsate: usable or unusable? • Dealers have few options other than disposal. - Can a “usable” rinsate go back to the applicator? • Ultra Low Volume (ULV) applications: • No diluents used, containers may be considered hazardous until rinsed. • If rinsed, what can be done with the rinsate?
