Cables (code 16 12 21*, 17 04 10*) are classified as hazardous waste since they contain oils, coal tar, or other toxic compounds. Mishandling them poses risks to both the environment and human health.
Proper hazardous waste management of cable products reduces these threats and ensures safety for workers and ecosystems.
Main hazards include:
- leakage of harmful oils into soil;
- release of carcinogenic substances;
- fire risk during improper storage;
- contamination of aquatic systems.
Effective handling of hazardous waste involves marking, monitoring, and developing management programs tailored to cable waste.
Industrial facilities should adopt environmental servicing, including audits, monitoring, and innovative solutions to reduce harmful impacts.
Secure hazardous waste storage requires specialized sealed containers that prevent leaks and emissions.
Safe hazardous waste transportation is carried out in proper containers, following international standards to avoid accidents.
Modern technologies enable hazardous waste processing, making it possible to reuse valuable components and minimize landfill loads.
Key solutions include:
- thermal and chemical treatment;
- advanced filtration equipment;
- regular ecological audits.
A comprehensive approach to cable waste management not only mitigates risks but also enhances the company’s reputation as an environmentally responsible business.
