Coatings Conference ︱ He Yi: Interpreting the Hazardous Waste Identification Policy for Paint Drum

       He Yi said that solid waste is the production, life and other activities generated in the loss of the original use value or although not lost use value but abandoned or abandoned solid, semi-solid and gaseous items placed in containers, substances, as well as the laws and administrative regulations into the management of solid waste items, substances.

       In addition, He Yi listed the breakdown of hazardous waste according to the industry source, taking the manufacture of paints, inks, pigments and similar products as an example, it will mainly produce wastewater treatment sludge generated during the production of chrome yellow and chrome orange pigments, wastewater treatment sludge generated during the production of molybdenum orange pigments, etc. At the same time, HeYi also lists the hazardous wastes generated by different production processes, taking solvent-based paint production process as an example, it is prone to produce wastewater treatment sludge, waste packaging, filter residue, etc.

The next step, He Yi's unit will, first, promote the revision of the National List of Hazardous Wastes, second, promote the inclusion of the relevant solid wastes into the Hazardous Waste Exclusion Management List, and third, promote the conditional exemption of hazardous wastes. "In short, a lot of basic work needs to be carried out, especially sampling analysis and testing, to master the typical representative enterprises in the industry production process, solid waste generation and its hazardous characteristics, to promote the improvement of the regulatory system system. Promote the development of appropriate standards and norms, including national standards, industry standards, such as solvent-based paint drum cleaning technical specifications, in the case of controlled environmental risk to achieve a conditional exemption of hazardous waste, or a conditional exemption from the use." He Yi said.
　　It is worth mentioning that, in order to effectively reduce the illegal risks faced by enterprises, the Solid Waste and Chemical Management Technical Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, as the most authoritative institution for hazardous waste management in China, has entrusted the China Paint Industry Association to organize relevant enterprises to participate in the relevant identification work as soon as possible, in order to clarify whether the solid waste generated by the production and use of water-based paints by relevant enterprises is hazardous waste. In view of the above, China Paint Industry Association has carried out the first batch of identification studies for 65 domestic water-based architectural wall coating enterprises and 26 water-based acrylic emulsion manufacturers between 2020 and 2021, with the overall output exceeding 50% of the total national output in each segment, and finally assisted in promoting the filing of each participating enterprise in the corresponding jurisdiction, solving the solid waste treatment and disposal problems that have long plagued the enterprises. The problem of solid waste disposal was solved. According to the request of the participating enterprises, CMA decided to carry out the second batch of solid waste assessment for domestic water-based architectural wall coating and water-based acrylic emulsion manufacturers. Please pay attention to it.
