17 02 Wood, glass and plastics
More about:
The main problem of wood, glass and plastic waste is their extremely long degradation in nature. Although wood is a natural material, if mismanaged, it can become a source of serious environmental pollution. Moisture that accumulates in wood contributes to the formation of mold and fungi that can contaminate soil and water. Glass is a less dangerous material, but its fragments can be traumatic for people and animals. Plastics are the most difficult to process due to their chemical stability and wide range of applications.
Irregular management of wood, glass and plastic waste leads to the accumulation of huge volumes of garbage that can remain in nature for centuries. Plastics, for example, can decompose for hundreds of years, polluting the environment with toxic substances. Wood, glass, and plastic waste collection, sorting, crushing, and processing operations must be efficiently organized to minimize negative impacts on ecosystems. Services for waste management, collection and processing: Wood, glass and plastics Code NPV 17 02.
Wood, glass and plastics. Code according to the National List of Waste 17 02. Operations according to Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" R7, D15.
A pity for the environment and people
Waste wood, glass and plastic have a negative impact on various aspects of the environment. Wood rotting in landfills emits methane — a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Glass, even being an inert material, can cause physical pollution to the environment, especially if it is broken into small pieces. Plastics, due to their resistance to biodegradation, can accumulate in the oceans, creating so-called "plastic islands" that threaten marine life.
Environmental management of wood, glass and plastic waste must take into account their long-term impact on nature. Plastics, in particular, can release microplastics that enter food chains, affecting flora and fauna. Wood that contains chemical impurities or is treated with preservatives can release toxic substances during decay, contaminating soil and water resources.
Pity for people
Wood, glass and plastic waste not only harms the environment, but also poses a serious threat to human health. Wood, especially when stored in a humid environment, can cause the development of mold and fungi, which are dangerous for the human respiratory system. Inhalation of mold spores can lead to allergies, asthma and other respiratory diseases.
Glass is dangerous because of the possibility of injury. Shards of glass can cause serious cuts and can get into food or water, which is extremely dangerous. Plastics, especially those containing toxic impurities, can emit harmful substances during long-term storage or when heated, which affects the human hormonal system and can cause the development of oncological diseases.
Ways to reduce harm
In order to reduce the damage caused by wood, glass and plastic waste, it is necessary to implement effective methods of ecological waste management. The management of wood, glass and plastic waste should be based on the principles of minimizing the generation of waste, its reuse and recycling.
Methods of ecological waste management
Among the main methods, we can distinguish:
- sorting of waste to select recyclable materials;
- transportation of wood, glass and plastic waste to specialized enterprises for processing;
- use of modern technologies for processing and reuse of waste; (R7);
- creating conditions for safe storage (D15) of waste to avoid its release into the environment.
It is especially important to introduce technologies that allow to reduce greenhouse gas emissions during the management of wood, glass and plastic waste. Environmental management of wood, glass and plastic waste also involves involving the public in the process, raising public awareness of the need to reduce the amount of waste and recycle it.
