Among common chemical raw materials, a significant portion consists of plastic products. Proper storage and recycling of collected chemical waste are crucial steps in reducing pollution. When storing recycled chemical plastic products, it is important to pay special attention to the following points:
1. Regional Waste Storage: Waste plastics recovered from chemical recycling are typically toxic, such as polyethylene bags, packaging from chemical raw materials, or packaging from agricultural and dye chemicals. These waste materials must be clearly distinguished from regular plastics. Chemical plastics must be stored in a designated area, and a prominent toxic warning sign should be posted nearby to alert all personnel on the worksite. Additionally, comprehensive protective equipment must be distributed to operators. Whether it involves transportation, processing, or storage of the waste, all personnel in contact with the materials must wear full protective gear to prevent accidental poisoning.
2. Avoid Direct Sunlight: As plastic products are prone to weathering and aging, it is crucial to store them away from direct sunlight, especially during summer. Opt for shaded areas as temporary storage locations.
3. Avoid Storage in Moist Areas: Most plastic products lack moisture resistance. Therefore, before storing plastic waste, ensure the items are properly packaged. Storage should be in a dry, well-ventilated area, especially during summer when rainfall is more frequent. If subjected to multiple rainfall events consecutively, regularly turn the goods to prevent aging and mold. Additionally, consider adding one to two trays at the bottom to elevate the plastic, isolating it from the ground and reducing mold formation.
