मी कॉफी पेंटींग्स ला एपॉक्सी (हार्डनर्,रेसिन ) ने कोटींग करते . पण ज्या बाउल मध्ये ईपॉक्सी मिक्स करते ते एकदा वापरले की पुन्हा वापरता येतीलच हे नक्की सांगता येत नाही.तसेच ह्या कामासाठी वापरलेले ग्लोव्ज ,असे बरेच सामान जमलेले आहे.पण त्याची विल्हेवाट कशी लावयची हे कळत नाही. हे सामान नेहमीच्या कचर्‍यात टाकले तर चालेल का?

Proper Disposal of Leftover Resin & Hardener
by Glenn House & Tim Atkinson

The technical staff of Gougeon Brothers, Inc. has recently received inquiries about proper disposal of left over resin and hardener. The increase in customer concern results from more stringent environmental regulations and heightened awareness of the need to protect the environment. We are happy to receive these inquiries because it lets us know that epoxy users are taking responsibility for proper disposal of these products. We hope this article gives you a better understanding of basic proper disposal procedures.

How you legally dispose of left over resin and hardener depends on which environmental laws and regulations govern you. The Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA) is the federal law governing hazardous waste disposal. Individual states and some local governments have enacted their own, more stringent, hazardous waste disposal laws.

Left over resin and hardener products fall under the definition of “hazardous waste” as soon as the intention is to throw them away. Therefore, it is important that you become familiar with local, state and federal guidelines for hazardous waste disposal.

The following guidelines will help you make the right decision when it comes time to dispose of unused epoxy resin and hardener.

1. The restrictions under which you are regulated will likely depend on the quantity of hazardous waste you generate. Businesses and individuals who generate less than 100 kilograms (220 pounds) per month are classified by RCRA as Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators. As such, they are not subject to the more stringent restrictions that apply to Large Quantity Generators.

2. Left over portions of resin and hardener do not have to be declared “waste” if there is potential for further use of the products. Simply use the product on another project. WEST SYSTEM Epoxy products have a long shelf-life when stored in sealed containers.

3. Cured epoxy (resin and hardener mixed at the proper ratio and completely solidified) is NOT considered a “hazardous waste” and may be disposed of as a non-hazardous solid waste material.

4. Empty product containers can be disposed of as non-hazardous solid waste if you follow these simple “empty” rules, which come from the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulations for identifying hazardous waste (40 CFR 261.7) (1) Every effort has been made to empty the container, and (2) no more than three percent by weight of the total capacity of the container remains in the container.

5. Practice waste reduction to keep hazardous waste to a minimum. Work with small batches of epoxy. When emptying a container for disposal, collect the residue for use on a future project.

From an environmental standpoint, the moral message in this article is that we all must respect the environment and work to eliminate all potential insults to its integrity. Don’t release untreated hazardous wastes to land, air or water. Many communities organize periodic hazardous waste collections where consumers can take household hazardous waste for safe disposal, usually free of charge.

The guidelines mentioned above may not be sufficient to maintain compliance with the laws and regulations that pertain to hazardous waste disposal in your area. When there is uncertainty, refer to local, state and federal regulations.

This article has addressed only the disposal of epoxy resin and hardener. Many other hazardous wastes are generated when working on a boat building or repair project, including bottom paint which has been removed, gel coat, paints and solvents. These materials can be harmful to the environment and should be disposed of properly as well.

हे वाचा. तुम्ह्यी ज्या राज्यात राहता तिथले काय नियम आहेत त्याप्रमाणे वागा . इकोफ्रेंडली माध्यमे शोधून त्यातुन व्यक्त व्हा . हे जज मेंटल भावनेतून सांगत नाही. पण ग्रहाच्या काळजीतून तुम्हाला आवाहन करते.

धन्यवाद.
पुण्यात अशी कोणती संस्था आहे जी ह्या सन्दर्भात काही माहिती देवू शकेल?. मी जे बाऊल्स, ग्लोव्ज वाप्रलेले आहेत त्यावरची/ त्यातली इपॉक्सी वाळलेली/ क्युअर्ड आहे.

तुमची जी मटेरिअल्स आहेत त्या च्या डब्यावर सप्लायरचे नाव असेल. त्या साइटवर त्या मटेरिअल सर्च करा. मटेरिअल सेफ्टी डेटा शीट मिळेल. तसेच विषबाधा झाल्यास काय करायचे. प्रॉपर डिस्पोझल कसे करायचे त्याची मेथड पण दिलेली असेल. जर ग्रे मार्केट मधून सुट्टे घेतले असेल तर ही माहिती मिळणार नाही.
पण हे पब्लिश करणे आता बंधन कारक आहे.

महाराष्ट्र राज्य पोलुशन कंट्रोल बोर्ड तसेच पुणे महानगरपालिकेत गार्बेज डिस्पोझल विभागात चौकशी करा.
हे लोक फार च निर्ढावलेले असतात त्यामुळे एकट्या जाउ नका बरोबर कोणीतरी न्या. वापरता त्या मालाचे सँपल तसेच एम एस डी एस घेउन जा.
