11 01 Waste from chemical surface treatment and coating of metals and other materials (for example, galvanic processes, zinc coating, etching, engraving, phosphating, alkaline degreasing, anodizing processes)
Chemical surface treatment and metal coating processes are widely used in industry to increase the corrosion resistance of materials, improve their appearance, and create special properties. These include electroplating, zinc plating, etching, engraving, phosphating, alkaline degreasing and anodizing. While these processes are necessary to produce high-quality products, they are also the source of significant amounts of waste that contain hazardous chemicals.
Wastes generated from chemical surface treatment often contain toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, chromium and mercury, as well as various acids and alkalis. These wastes can be in the form of liquid solutions, solid deposits or gases that can enter the environment if not properly handled or stored.
Operations for collecting, sorting, crushing and processing of chemical surface treatment and metal coating waste are complex and require careful planning and execution. Without proper environmental management, these wastes can become a serious threat to the environment and human health. Services for waste management, collection and processing: Waste from chemical surface treatment and coating of metals and other materials (for example, galvanic processes, zinc coating, etching, engraving, phosphating, alkaline degreasing, anodizing processes) NPV code 11 01.
Waste from chemical surface treatment and coating of metals and other materials (for example, galvanic processes, zinc coating, etching, engraving, phosphating, alkaline degreasing, anodizing processes). Code according to the National List of Waste 11 01. Operations according to Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" D15.
A pity for the environment and people
Waste from chemical surface treatment and metal coating has a significant impact on the environment. Toxic metals contained in the waste can enter the soil and water sources, which leads to their pollution. For example, cadmium and lead can accumulate in plants, which are then consumed by animals and humans, creating a long-term threat to ecosystems.
In addition, acidic and alkaline wastes can change the pH of soils and water bodies, which affects biodiversity and can lead to the destruction of natural habitats for many species. An important aspect is also that certain chemical compounds, for example, chromates, can be carcinogenic and pose a threat to all living things.
Methods of environmental management of chemical surface treatment and metal coating waste should include measures to minimize their impact on the environment, in particular, proper collection, transportation and storage of such waste to prevent it from entering nature.
Pity for people
The harm to people from the waste of chemical surface treatment and coating of metals can be significant. Contact with toxic substances such as cadmium, lead, chromium and mercury can cause serious illness. Lead, for example, can cause neurological disorders, and cadmium – damage to the kidneys and respiratory system.
In addition, exposure to acidic and alkaline waste can cause chemical burns and irritation of the skin and mucous membranes. Vapors from such waste can be toxic if inhaled, which can lead to serious problems with the respiratory system.
The management of chemical surface treatment and metal coating waste must include safety measures for workers working with such materials, as well as measures to prevent the release of hazardous substances into the environment.
Ways to reduce harm
Reduction of damage from waste chemical surface treatment and metal coating is possible thanks to the use of modern technologies and methods of environmental management. One of the main directions is the implementation of closed processing systems that minimizes the amount of waste.
Also important is the use of less toxic alternatives to the chemicals used in electroplating and metal finishing processes. This can significantly reduce the amount of hazardous waste and reduce risks to human health and the environment.
Environmental management of chemical surface treatment and metal coating waste also includes proper transportation, storage (D15) and neutralization of such waste in accordance with the requirements of environmental legislation, which reduces pollution risks.

Customer Reviews
Yefremova Yuliia
30.10.2023Thank you very much for your cooperation. We have been working together for a long time. It was necessary to transport hazardous waste, a large volume of waste. Everyone would like the same level of service as here. Very pleased with the work. Not ashamed to recommend to others.
Tymoshenko Mykola
13.11.2023For us, it was critical to have permits for waste management. For reporting, a license for environmental waste management is required. There was a rather non-standard task for managing hazardous waste. We are very pleased with the work of your company. It is always a pleasure to work with such a company. I recommend it.
Petrovskyi Andrii
11.12.2023I would like to leave a review of cooperation in matters of production waste management. It did not take long to make a decision on choosing a contractor company. A rare case of a quality approach to work. Thank you for your cooperation. Feel free to order. There is no better company in Ukraine.
