Batteries and accumulators under codes 16 06 01, 16 06 02, 16 06 03 and unsorted containing them

In today's world, the use of batteries and accumulators is an integral part of everyday life. They power our phones, laptops, cars and many other devices. However, the problem of proper management of these wastes is becoming more and more urgent. This especially applies to batteries and accumulators assigned to codes 16 06 01, 16 06 02, 16 06 03, as well as unsorted batteries and accumulators containing these batteries.

Batteries and accumulators have a limited service life, after which they become hazardous waste. According to European standards, batteries and accumulators are classified according to certain codes that determine their composition and potential danger to the environment and human health. Codes 16 06 01, 16 06 02, 16 06 03 include various types of batteries and accumulators, including those containing heavy metals and other harmful substances. The main problem is that a large part of this waste is not subject to proper collection and processing.

Environmental methods of hazardous waste management of batteries and accumulators assigned to codes 16 06 01, 16 06 02, 16 06 03 and unsorted batteries and accumulators containing these batteries include operations of collection, sorting, crushing and processing. The lack of proper infrastructure and knowledge among the population leads to the fact that this waste ends up in landfills, where it can cause serious environmental problems.

Batteries and accumulators classified under codes 16 06 01, 16 06 02, 16 06 03 and unsorted batteries and accumulators containing these batteries. Code according to the National List of Waste 20 01 33*. Operations in accordance with Annexes 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine “On Waste Management” R4, R6, R13.

Code in accordance with Annexes VIII, IX to the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Shipments of Hazardous Wastes and their Utilization/Removal A1160 (АА170), A1180.

Reducing the harm from hazardous waste batteries and accumulators requires an integrated approach that includes effective management, the latest recycling technologies (R6) and raising public awareness.

• Development of collection and recycling infrastructure: creation of special collection points for batteries and accumulators, as well as development of recycling plants.
• Information campaigns: increasing public awareness of the need to properly neutralize batteries and accumulators.
• Legislative regulation: implementation of strict laws and regulations on hazardous waste management.

Methods of environmental management of hazardous waste batteries and accumulators assigned to codes 16 06 01, 16 06 02, 16 06 03 and unsorted batteries and accumulators containing these batteries should include the introduction of the latest recycling technologies, which allow to minimize emissions of harmful substances.
