Waste pyrotechnics

The problem of pyrotechnic waste is extremely relevant in the modern world. Every year, many pyrotechnics are produced for various celebrations, sports events and other events. However, few people think about what happens to the waste after using these products. Pyrotechnic waste includes the remains of fireworks, rockets, pyrotechnic cartridges and other products that contain hazardous chemicals and materials.

The problem with pyrotechnic waste is that it often goes unnoticed or is mishandled. This can lead to serious consequences for the environment and human health. Therefore, it is important to develop effective methods of ecological management of hazardous pyrotechnic waste in order to minimize their impact on the environment and humanity.

Pyrotechnics have been used for centuries, from military purposes to entertainment events. However, with the development of technology and the growth of demand, the number of manufactured pyrotechnics has increased significantly. This, in turn, led to an increase in the volume of waste. Pyrotechnic waste poses a serious threat because it contains a variety of hazardous components, including heavy metals, chemical compounds and explosives. The lack of a proper management system for these wastes can have long-term consequences for the environment and human health.

Pyrotechnic waste. Code according to the National list of waste 16 04 02*, 16 12 48*. Operations in accordance with Annexes 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" R7, D15, D13.

Reduction of damage from pyrotechnic waste is an important task that requires an integrated approach. There are several effective methods of environmental management of hazardous pyrotechnic waste that will help minimize their negative impact on the environment and human health.

• implementation of modern technologies for safe collection and storage of waste (D15);
• creation of specialized centers for the processing and recycling of pyrotechnic waste (R7);
• use of alternative materials in the production of pyrotechnics, which are less toxic;
• raising public awareness of the dangers of pyrotechnic waste and methods of their safe management;
• improvement of the legislative framework and control over the implementation of environmental regulations.

One ​​of the key elements in reducing the damage from pyrotechnic waste – is the implementation of the collection and sorting system (D13)  waste This makes it possible to efficiently distribute hazardous components and minimize their impact on the environment. This requires specialized containers and collection points, as well as appropriate infrastructure for transporting hazardous pyrotechnic waste.

It is also important to ensure safe conditions for the processing and recycling of pyrotechnic waste. This includes the use of modern technologies and equipment that minimize risks to workers and the environment. Operations on collection, sorting, crushing and processing of hazardous pyrotechnic waste must be carried out under strict control and in accordance with environmental standards.

Another important aspect is raising public awareness of the dangers of pyrotechnic waste. This can be achieved through education programs, awareness campaigns and training for those who work with pyrotechnics. People should know how to properly handle pyrotechnics to avoid danger to themselves and the environment.

Producers of pyrotechnics should also be encouraged to use environmentally friendly materials. The development of new technologies and materials can reduce the toxicity of pyrotechnic products, which will make them less dangerous for the environment and human health. For example, you can use biodegradable materials or components that do not contain heavy metals and other toxic substances.
