Objetives of Life Aquemfree

Demonstrate an alternative economic and ecological technique to completely degrade pesticide residues in waste water produced on farms by remnants in containers and tanks of phytosanitary treatment equipment, and rinsing of them after use, machinery and equipment cleaning, etc., with innovative equipment located on farms, providing solutions to a current European problem, especially in the Mediterranean area, as the Directive 2009/128 / EC of sustainable use of pesticides obliges member states to take measures to ensure that the operations of the professionals do not endanger human health or the environment.

Both legal standards and the standards of sustainable production (for instance, Integrated Production) or private standards such as GlobalGAP, must be met by farmers to commercialise their products in the EU. But currently, there is not a real solution available to manage pesticide residues, but rough recommendations. Current and under study solutions are not complete and only transfer the problem or cause the generation of new waste, so the Life-Aquemfree System can provide a compatible solution with the environment and economically viable enough to be standardized in a large number of different farms.
