Recycling process

The process of recycling, recovery or disposal of hazardous waste includes the following operations:

  • ACCEPTANCE
    Upon acceptance at the site, hazardous waste is measured on a certified scale. Hazardous waste is accepted packaged in thick plastic bags or in certified containers. Fluorescent lamps – packed 20 pieces in a box.
  • INSPECTION OF PACKAGING AND SORTING
    The bags are checked for ruptures that could lead to the spillage of dangerous substances, the same is done with the containers and then they are sorted by type. Boxes with lamps are checked to prevent the acceptance of broken lamps.
  • STORAGE
    Hazardous waste is stored in sheds or halls with a spill-proof floor surface.
  • TRANSPORT
    To the site – in thick plastic bags or in certified containers, then from the site to the recycling plant with specialized ADR trucks (with the necessary ADR equipment, fire extinguishers, documents and the necessary designation for the specific load) and a driver with a valid ADR certificate.
  • RECYCLING
    Only possible with fluorescent lamps.
  • RECOVERY OR DISPOSAL
  • RECOVERY BY CONTROLLED INCINERATION
    In very high temperature incinerators or for power generation in cement plants.
  • DISPOSAL
    Packages from hazardous substances are treated by various methods, after which the resulting non-hazardous waste (metal and plastic) is sent for subsequent recycling.

Benefits

опасни отпадъци Hazardous waste

Recycling, recovery or disposal of hazardous waste is key to achieving
humanity’s goals for cleaner air and water, and a cleaner planet in general.

However, instead of being handed over for recycling, a large amount of hazardous waste is still being
burned by individuals and companies without the filters and permits required, which leads tо
serious air pollution, especially in winter.

Hazardous wastes are accepted in return for payment by the supplier.
