Chromium-containing waste of tanned leather (splits, shavings, scraps, dust)

Tanned leather waste, including splits, leather trimmings/shavings, trimmings and grinding dust containing chromium, is a serious environmental problem. Leather production uses chromium compounds that give leather strength and elasticity, but at the same time creates waste containing heavy metals. These wastes are hazardous to the environment and human health if not properly managed.

The leather tanning process creates a significant amount of waste that contains residual chromium. This chromium can enter the soil and water resources, causing damage to the natural environment. In addition, improper handling of such waste can cause health problems for those who come into contact with it. Waste management, collection and processing services: Tanned leather waste (splits, leather trimmings/shavings, trimmings, sanding dust) containing chromium NPV code 04 01 08.

In order to reduce the harm from waste tanned leather containing chromium, it is necessary to implement ecological waste management methods. This includes:

• collection and sorting of waste;
• shredding and processing of waste;
• introduction of processing technologies (R5) chromium-containing waste;
• waste transportation in compliance with environmental standards.

One ​​of the effective ways of managing tanned leather waste is the implementation of closed production cycles, where the waste is used as a secondary raw material. This allows you to reduce the amount of waste and reduce their negative impact on the environment.
Another important aspect is the development and use of environmentally safe substitutes for chromium in the tanning process. This may include the use of alternative chemical compounds that do not contain heavy metals. For example, tanning with vegetable tannins or aluminum compounds is less harmful to the environment.
Implementation of programs to raise awareness among tannery workers about the safe handling of chromium-containing waste is also an important component of environmental management. This will help reduce the risks to people's health and reduce the negative impact on the environment.
Modern technologies make it possible to implement more effective methods of processing chromium-containing waste. This may include the use of special filters to remove chromium from industrial wastewater, as well as technologies for processing waste into secondary raw materials.
Innovative methods of disposal of chromium-containing waste, such as bioremediation, can also significantly reduce their negative impact. Bioremediation uses microorganisms to decompose and remove harmful substances from waste, which makes this method environmentally safe and effective.
