Packaging barrel isone of the commonly used materials in various fields of our daily life, covering a wide range. It is not only used for daily construction and decoration but is also utilized by major manufacturing enterprises. China is a major manufacturing country. In the manufacturing industry, after the production and molding of product equipment, it often requires a process—spraying paint. After the paint dries, it can be sold as a finished product. However, the waste paint packaging barrels left over after equipment manufacturing have become a problem for subsequent processing, as the oil barrels take up a lot of space and are not disposed of quickly. This odor is very unpleasant and poses a significant threat to human health, especially in the workshops and places of large enterprises such as large shipyards and automobile manufacturers.

Issues to pay attention to when storing hazardous waste packaging barrels and waste paint:

1. Classification and storage of hazardous waste

Waste paint barrels usually contain hazardous waste such as waste paint, coatings, waste organic solvents, and waste engine oil. However, when hazardous waste disposal units recycle waste paint barrels, they first focus on the residual amount of hazardous waste in the paint barrels. If the residual amount exceeds 5%, it needs to be classified for treatment and recycling.

2. Storage location for waste paint barrels

Waste paint barrels should be stored in a dedicated hazardous waste storage building within the factory. When stored outdoors, protective facilities such as fences must be set up to prevent wind and rain. In addition, the storage area should be equipped with a runoff drainage system and rainwater collection pits to ensure it can withstand a 24-hour rainstorm that occurs once every 25 years and prevent rainwater from flowing into the hazardous waste pile.

3. Safety protection for storing waste paint barrels

Leak-proof facilities: To prevent hazardous waste in waste paint barrels from leaking and contaminating the soil and human health, storage facilities need to be constructed at the storage site for waste paint barrels for leak-proof treatment. The leak-proof layer can be a clay layer at least 1m thick, or 1m*1m plastic boards or wooden pallets can be placed.

Storage standards: Waste paint barrels should be placed horizontally on the surface of plastic boards or wooden pallets, with the opening facing up, and stacked neatly. After stacking, they should be tightly wrapped and secured with fastening film or shrink film to prevent the waste paint barrels from collapsing due to unstable storage.

How to choose the correct disposal method for discarded packaging barrels:

As we see in our daily lives, the buckets used for holding pigments are usually iron barrels and cans. Iron barrels and cans are widely used in various chemical industries due to their light weight, low cost, and ease of use. With the widespread use of paint, the accompanying problems have also arisen. This is the subsequent issue of storing paint barrels. After use, paint barrels not only take up space but also do not protect the environment and pollute it. In recent years, we have increasingly emphasized environmental protection and enacted many environmental protection regulations. One of them is not to dispose of leftover paint and chemical liquids casually.
