Railway sleepers - recycling with potential

Zużyte podkłady kolejowe to odpad trudny do zagospodarowania — nasiąknięte kreozotem drewno, zbrojony beton, metal. To swoista środowiskowa bomba z opóźnionym zapłonem. Jednak są w Europie kraje takie jak Niemcy, gdzie recykling tych materiałów przekształcił się w dobrze rozwinięty sektor. Tam droga od demontażu poszczególnych elementów do odzysku surowców pokonywana jest sprawnie dzięki zaangażowaniu istotnego ogniwa w łańcuchu dostaw – wykwalifikowanego przewoźnika odpadów. Czym są podkłady kolejowe i dlaczego stanowią tak znaczące wyzwanie? Podkłady kolejowe to elementy, na których opierają się szyny. Ich głównym zadaniem jest utrzymywanie odpowiedniego rozstawu torów oraz przenoszenie obciążeń z przejeżdżających pociągów na podłoże. Dzięki nim…

Mercury dispute. An EU step in the right direction

The European Union has decided on dental amalgam: it has banned its use in children, pregnant women and nursing mothers. Mercury still remains Unfortunately, mercury will be with us for years to come. But there will be much less of it. Much now depends on the individual EU Member States. It remains to be seen whether the health of their citizens is important to them. For the time being, the European Union has banned the use of amalgam in those most exposed to toxic heavy metals - children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.Hanna Schudy Decisions at EU level European civil society influenced in early December a preliminary agreement between the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Council of the Union...

recycling of photovoltaic panels

Recycling of photovoltaic panels - a problem nobody talks about

Although photovoltaic panels are associated with clean energy, after 20-30 years they become waste that is difficult to recycle. Europe has to prepare for millions of tonnes of used panels, and the demand for recycling is growing as fast as the installations. The lack of a systemic approach could result in a huge environmental and logistical problem. Do we have a plan for this? Recycling photovoltaic panels - a problem that is not talked about The development of photovoltaics in Europe has been one of the most dynamic energy transition processes of the last two decades. Since 2000, 306.4 GW of PV capacity has been installed in the European Union alone, representing hundreds of millions of modules operating on rooftops, farms and ground-based structures....

Before you arrange transport - 5 things you need to know about your waste

Waste transport is not just a matter of logistics. It is a process that requires knowledge, precision and compliance with regulations. The wrong waste classification, the wrong carrier or the wrong entry in the documents can cost you more than the transport itself. Before you outsource your transport - check these 5 things. Identifying the waste - the first and most important step The first step is to identify the waste correctly. This is a deceptively simple task, but in practice it leads to many mistakes.
