Basics of ferrous metallurgy

The problem of ferrous metal waste arising from the decommissioning of various types of vehicles, including off-road vehicles, is urgent and multifaceted. Waste generated during the dismantling of vehicles, as well as from car maintenance, creates significant environmental and social challenges. The modern world, with its dependence on vehicles, generates huge volumes of ferrous metals, which require proper environmental management of ferrous metal waste.

The ferrous metals from which most cars and other vehicles are made include steel and cast iron. These materials are widely used due to their strength, durability and relative cheapness. However, with the development of the transport industry, the number of old vehicles being retired has increased significantly. This leads to the accumulation of a huge amount of ferrous metal waste.

The operations of collecting, sorting, crushing and treating ferrous metal waste are an important part of the ferrous metal waste management process. These processes help separate materials suitable for reuse from those that must be disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations. However, a large part of metal waste still ends up in landfills, which creates additional problems for the environment and people.

Vehicles removed from service become the main source of metal waste, requiring appropriate environmental management of ferrous metal waste. This applies not only to personal cars, but also to trucks, buses, and specialized machinery, including construction and agricultural machinery. As a result of the decommissioning of such vehicles, a large amount of metal waste is generated, which must be collected, sorted and processed to reduce the negative impact on the environment. Services for waste management, collection and processing: Ferrous metals, NPV code 16 01 17.

Black metals. Code in accordance with the National List of Waste 16 01 17. Operations in accordance with Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" D13, D5.

Reducing the negative impact of ferrous metal waste on the environment and human health is an important task that requires an integrated approach. Effective environmental management of ferrous metal waste involves the implementation of advanced technologies and compliance with environmental standards at all stages of metal waste processing.

• use of modern methods of collecting, sorting and crushing (D13) metal waste;
• implementation of technologies that allow reducing emissions of harmful substances during waste processing;
• creating specialized landfills (D5) for storing metal waste that meet environmental standards;
• providing workers with personal protective equipment when working with metal waste;
• increasing public awareness of the importance of correct neutralization of metal waste;
• introduction of programs for processing metal waste for reuse in production.

In addition, it is important to develop cooperation between government agencies, industry and the public in order to implement best practices in the field of environmental management of ferrous metal waste. This will significantly reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment and improve people's quality of life.
