19 12 01 Paper and cardboard
Paper and cardboard are an integral part of our everyday life, they are used for various purposes - from packaging to making documents. However, after their primary use is over, paper and cardboard become waste that needs to be properly managed. Waste from the mechanical processing of paper and cardboard, such as sorting, shredding, compaction and granulation, has a significant impact on the environment if appropriate environmental measures are not implemented.
The main problem associated with paper and cardboard waste is their large amount and the need for their effective management. Mechanical processing processes such as sorting, grinding and compaction create additional waste that requires special environmental management techniques. In today's world, the volume of paper and cardboard waste is constantly increasing due to the increase in the consumption of packaging, in particular due to the active development of Internet trade and other industries where paper and cardboard materials are widely used.
The problem is that a large part of paper and cardboard waste ends up in landfills or is burned, which leads to significant environmental pollution. In particular, the burning of these materials causes emissions of harmful substances such as dioxins and other toxic compounds into the atmosphere. In addition, a large amount of paper and cardboard waste occupies significant areas in landfills, which leads to the deterioration of living conditions in nearby areas.
Another problem is the insufficient development of the system of separate collection and processing of paper and cardboard waste. In many countries, in particular in Ukraine, this system is only gaining momentum, and a significant part of waste ends up in mixed containers with other types of waste. This complicates the process of their further processing and increases the risks of contamination. Services for waste management, collection and processing: Paper and cardboard NPV code 19 12 01.
Paper and cardboard. Code in accordance with the National List of Waste 19 12 01. Operations in accordance with Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" D13, R5.
A pity for the environment and people
Paper and cardboard waste that does not undergo proper environmental management can have serious consequences for the environment. The main problems include:
- pollution of soils and water resources due to the ingress of chemical compounds used in the manufacture of paper and cardboard;
- emissions of greenhouse gases and other harmful substances during the burning of paper and cardboard waste;
- loss of biodiversity due to deforestation for paper production;
- significant expenditure of energy and natural resources on the production of new paper products instead of recycling.
Soil pollution is one of the main problems caused by paper and cardboard waste. During their decomposition, various chemical compounds are released in the soil, which can penetrate into the groundwater, polluting it. This leads to a deterioration in the quality of drinking water and can negatively affect people's health.
Another important problem is greenhouse gas emissions. Combustion of waste paper and cardboard causes emissions of a large amount of carbon dioxide and other harmful substances that contribute to global warming. This has a negative impact on climatic conditions and can lead to serious environmental disasters.
Pity for people
Paper and cardboard waste that has not been properly managed can cause significant harm to people's health. The main risks include:
- inhalation of toxic substances during burning of paper and cardboard waste;
- risks for health due to contamination of water resources and soils;
- increasing the risk of developing respiratory and other diseases due to dust and harmful emissions;
- danger from the spread of infectious diseases due to improper storage and processing of waste.
One of the most significant health risks is the inhalation of toxic substances released during the burning of paper and cardboard waste. This can lead to the development of respiratory diseases, allergies and other serious health problems.
Water pollution is also a serious threat. Chemicals entering the water can cause various diseases, including poisoning, allergic reactions and other health problems.
Ways to reduce harm
Reduction of damage from paper and cardboard waste is possible thanks to the implementation of methods of ecological management of paper and cardboard waste. This includes:
- separate collection and processing of paper and cardboard waste (R5);
- use of environmentally friendly technologies for the production of paper products;
- implementation of programs to reduce consumption of paper materials;
- increasing the level of environmental awareness among the population.
One of the key aspects is the operations of collecting, sorting, crushing and processing (D13) waste paper and cardboard. This makes it possible to significantly reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and reduce the negative impact on the environment.
Transportation of paper and cardboard waste should also be carried out using environmentally friendly means that reduce emissions of harmful substances into the environment.
