Waste metals

20 01 40 Metal

whyneed

Household waste, which includes metal components, is becoming an increasingly urgent problem for modern society. With the development of technology and an increase in the level of consumption, the amount of metal waste in households and enterprises is increasing, which poses a serious threat to the environment and human health. Metal waste, which can include both large-sized products and small fractions, is often not efficiently collected and processed, which leads to the accumulation of substances dangerous for the ecosystem.

This problem is compounded by the fact that metal waste can contain toxic elements that, if mismanaged, become a source of soil, water and air pollution. In addition, the growth of the volume of metal waste necessitates the improvement of the infrastructure for their collection, sorting and processing, as well as the development of more effective methods of ecological management of metal waste.

Metal waste generated by households and businesses includes a wide range of materials. Such waste includes old household appliances, metal containers, tools, furniture and building materials. Most of these wastes have a high potential for reuse or recycling, but in many cases they end up in landfills due to insufficient awareness of the population and insufficient development of the collection and sorting system.

The presence of metals containing toxic elements in the waste is a particularly serious problem. For example, batteries containing lead or cadmium can cause significant damage to the environment. The lack of proper operations for collecting, sorting, crushing and processing metal waste means that these hazardous components can enter the soil and water, causing long-term consequences for the ecosystem. Services for waste management, collection and processing: Metal Code NPV 20 01 40.

Metal. Code according to the National List of Waste 20 01 40. Operations according to Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" R5.

A pity for the environment and people

howutilize

Metal waste, if not properly collected and treated, can become a source of serious environmental pollution. Metals contained in household waste can contaminate soil and water, especially if they contain toxic elements. Iron, aluminum, copper and other metals can react with other chemicals, forming compounds that harm living organisms.

One ​​of the main risks is that metal waste can decompose over hundreds of years, gradually releasing harmful substances into the environment. For example, iron rusting leads to soil contamination with iron oxides, which can change soil acidity and negatively affect plant growth. Copper waste can cause water pollution, as copper is toxic to many aquatic organisms.

It is also worth noting that some types of metals are particularly dangerous for the environment due to their ability to accumulate in living organisms, causing bioaccumulation. Metals such as lead and mercury can cause poisoning, disrupting the normal functioning of organisms and leading to the extinction of certain species.

 

Pity for people

The harm of metal waste is not limited to the impact on the environment. They also pose a serious threat to human health. Toxic metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium can enter the human body through contaminated water, food or air, causing serious diseases.

Lead, for example, can accumulate in the bones, brain and other organs, causing malfunctions of the nervous system, kidneys and cardiovascular system. Children are particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning, which can lead to serious developmental disabilities, including reduced intellectual ability and behavioral problems.

Mercury is another dangerous metal that can cause severe poisoning. It can accumulate in fish and seafood consumed by humans, increasing the risk of mercury poisoning. This can lead to serious neurological disorders, heart and kidney disorders.

Cadmium, often used in the production of batteries and other electronic devices, is also highly toxic. It can cause cancer, impairment of lung, kidney and bone functions. Long-term exposure to cadmium on the human body leads to serious damage, which is often irreversible.

Ways to reduce harm

whyneed

In order to reduce harm from metal waste, it is necessary to apply effective methods of environmental management of metal waste. The main measures include:

  • development of the system of collection and sorting of metal waste: this will allow to select metals that can be reused or recycled;
  • creating an infrastructure for crushing and processing metal waste: such operations reduce the amount of waste and make it less dangerous;
  • transportation of metal waste to specialized processing enterprises: this avoids toxic metals from entering the environment;
  • increasing public awareness of the need for proper handling of metal waste: information campaigns will help reduce the amount of metal waste ending up in landfills.

An important part of the ecological management of metal waste is also the use of modern recycling technologies (R5), which allow to maximize the amount of recovered metal and minimize the loss of materials. This, in turn, helps to preserve natural resources and reduce the impact on the environment.
