09 01 99 Other waste of this subgroup
Photographic activities, which include both amateurs and professionals, generate a significant amount of waste that requires special environmental management. This waste can vary in composition and characteristics, including chemical reagents, used film and photo paper, as well as used batteries and other accessories. Despite technological advances that have made digital photography more popular, analog photography remains relevant, adding to the volume of waste to contend with.
Methods of ecological management of other wastes of this subgroup are of particular importance for the preservation of the environment and human health. It is important to understand the problems that arise as a result of improper processing and disposal of this waste, as well as ways to solve them.
Photographic activity generates various types of waste, among which chemical waste is particularly dangerous. They arise from the use of chemical reagents for developing and printing photographs. Such reagents include various types of developers, fixatives, bleaches and other chemicals that can be harmful to the environment and human health.
Also an important aspect is the waste generated when using photo paper and film. Although digital technology has greatly reduced the need for analog photography, certain segments of the market still use traditional methods, creating a constant stream of waste. This subgroup can also include waste related to the packaging and transportation of photographic materials.
Operations for collection, sorting, crushing and processing of other waste of this subgroup can be quite complex and costly, requiring special equipment and personnel training. This adds additional difficulties for businesses engaged in this activity and increases the cost of disposal. Services for waste management, collection and processing: Other waste of this subgroup, NPV code 09 01 99.
Other waste of this subgroup. Code according to the National List of Waste 09 01 99. Operations according to Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine “On Waste Management” R5.
A pity for the environment and people
Photographic waste can cause significant damage to the environment if not properly disposed of. The main threat is chemical reagents that contain toxic substances. They can penetrate the soil and water resources, contaminating them and making them dangerous for living organisms.
In addition, photo paper and film that contain silver and other metals can create an additional burden on the ecosystem. When burned, this waste emits toxic gases that pollute the atmosphere and contribute to global warming.
Dangerous effects can also include plastic packaging and containers used for storing and transporting photographic materials. They can decompose for decades, causing damage to the environment and threatening marine ecosystems.
Pity for people
Waste from photographic activity can harm not only the environment, but also human health. The chemical reagents used in the process of developing and printing photos contain toxic substances that can cause serious diseases when in contact with them.
The main health risks include:
- poisoning due to inhalation of toxic fumes;
- allergic reactions on the skin when in contact with chemical substances;
- damage to the respiratory system and nervous system;
- potential carcinogenic effect of some chemical compounds.
Especially vulnerable to these risks are the employees of photographic laboratories and studios who are in daily contact with dangerous substances. Improper handling of these wastes can cause serious health problems for both workers and the general public.
Ways to reduce harm
There are several ways to reduce the harm from photographic waste, which include both technological solutions and organizational measures. Methods of ecological management of other wastes of this subgroup should be aimed at minimizing the use of toxic substances and introducing safe methods of their processing.
The main ways of reducing damage include:
- transition to digital photography, which significantly reduces the amount of chemical waste;
- use of safe and environmentally friendly chemical reagents;
- establishment of a system for the collection and processing of photo paper and film for the purpose of extracting valuable metals (R5);
- creation of specialized centers for the neutralization of photographic waste;
- increasing the level of awareness of the population and employees of photographic studios regarding the safe handling of waste.
