19 12 05 Glass
Glass is one of the most common materials in our everyday life. It is used in packaging, construction, automotive, electronics and many other industries. However, after the end-of-life of glass products, there is the problem of handling the waste generated during the mechanical processing of glass waste, such as sorting, grinding, compaction and granulation. These wastes are often overlooked, but their improper management can have serious consequences for the environment and human health.
Glass waste arising in the process of mechanical processing has its own specifics. During the sorting, grinding, compaction and granulation of glass, different fractions of waste are formed, which may contain glass particles of different sizes, dust, as well as the remains of other materials accompanying glass products. Such a mixture of waste is difficult to process, as it requires additional sorting and cleaning.
One of the main problems is that a large part of this waste cannot be reused or recycled due to the presence of impurities and micro-particles that are difficult to remove. In addition, these wastes can end up in landfills or in the natural environment, creating risks for the environment. Services for waste management, collection and processing: Glass Code NPV 19 12 05.
Glass. Code in accordance with the National List of Waste 19 12 05. Operations in accordance with Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" D13, R5.
A pity for the environment and people
Glass waste, if not properly treated, can cause significant damage to the environment. First, glass is a material that does not decompose under natural conditions. It can remain in the environment for thousands of years, contaminating soils and water bodies. Microparticles of glass formed during mechanical processing can penetrate into the soil and water, which leads to their pollution and negative impact on vegetation and living organisms.
Secondly, improper management of glass waste can lead to microplastics entering the environment, as some glass products contain polymeric materials. This further complicates the problem of pollution and creates new threats to ecosystems.
- Contamination of soils and water bodies with glass microparticles;
- Negative impact on vegetation and living organisms;
- Risk of microplastic formation;
- The increase in the number of landfills due to the accumulation of glass.
Pity for people
Mechanical processing of glass waste can also harm human health. Microparticles of glass produced during crushing and grinding can enter the air we breathe. Inhaling these particles can lead to various diseases of the respiratory system, such as bronchitis, pneumonia or even lung cancer.
In addition, contact with broken glass can cause injury, especially if this waste ends up in landfills or in public places. Inadequate cleaning and disposal of such waste increases the risk of accidents.
- Diseases of the respiratory system due to inhalation of glass microparticles;
- Risk of injury due to contact with broken glass;
- Negative impact on health due to the accumulation of glass in the environment;
- The threat of chronic diseases.
Ways to reduce harm
In order to reduce the damage from glass waste, it is necessary to implement comprehensive measures for the ecological management of glass waste. One of the key elements of this process is the development of infrastructure for the collection, sorting, crushing and processing (D13) of waste glass. It is important to ensure proper transportation of glass waste to specialized enterprises where it can be safely processed.
It is also worth actively implementing glass reuse technologies (R7), which will reduce the amount of waste and preserve natural resources. In addition, it is necessary to carry out information and educational campaigns among the population regarding the correct handling of glass waste, which will contribute to their reduction at the stage of consumption.
