Disposal of discarded insulation material

2009-03-24View Original

Thread Content

According to the **List of Hazardous Wastes**, asbestos is classified as a hazardous solid waste, whereas rock wool is not. It seems that most companies currently use silicate wool as insulation material; therefore, these companies generate a significant amount of waste from this substance. How should such waste be properly disposed of? ! !

At the moment, we really don’t know what good solution there is; we use deep burial. But it’s not a fundamental solution either.

We are all treated as waste. What’s important is to know how to deal with it, either through recycling by companies. Please let us know – it is our responsibility to leave clean waters and blue skies for future generations

I’m not too sure about this either; I’ve heard that it can be crushed, and then certain substances can be added to it before it’s ground again for comprehensive utilization, but I don’t know the exact details of how it’s done.

It can’t be processed; the only option is to landfill it. If anyone knows how to deal with this, please let everyone know

Our company is also in a similar situation; it would be ideal to have companies that specialize in recycling. If there are technologies and funds available for recycling, then establishing a recycling company will definitely be profitable.

At the moment, there are quite a few that are buried deep. . . That’s how we handle it too!

To correct the original poster’s statement: rock wool also counts as hazardous waste, and it must be disposed of by qualified entities; a hazardous waste transfer document is required, and recycling it also necessitates the presence of qualified parties.

We don’t have any good solutions either; we just treat it as waste, hoping for better ways to deal with it.

Friend upstairs: In the **List of Hazardous Wastes**, HW36 includes asbestos waste. As far as I know, there is a difference between asbestos and silicate cotton – is my understanding correct? Let’s discuss! ! !

The purchase has been processed; there’s no other good way

It is hoped that **companies specialized in dealing with solid waste will be supported; many companies face this problem – they don’t want to bury the waste, but they can’t find any better ways to deal with it!

Asbestos is considered hazardous waste; rock wool (yellow) is mostly used for pipe insulation, while silicate wool (white) is used in applications where higher temperatures are required
