The growing use of agrochemicals added to the harm that contaminated containers cause to the environment and to the health of the population, make it necessary to establish a reverse supply chain for the recovery and correct treatment of containers. A MILP multi-period model is proposed to define the optimal configuration of the reverse supply chain network of empty agrochemical containers, following the objective of minimizing the total actual cost of the network
