Technical determination for the reclassification of containers and management of cyanide drums.
What did we do?
We presented a characterization study on the waste called "cardboard containers used as explosive packaging" generated by the company ALPAYANA S.A. during the dispatch of explosives and blasting accessories inside the mine. The objective was to determine whether these boxes should be classified as hazardous or non-hazardous waste. Additionally, the management and reclassification of cyanide drums was carried out.
Characterization
Technical analysis of residual composition.
Management
Cyanide drum logistics.
Case Resolution
"The technical resolution concluded that the cardboard containers and drums do not present hazardous characteristics. MINAM determined that this waste can be managed as non-hazardous waste."
Important note: If the cardboard were to become contaminated with the explosive product, it should be managed as hazardous waste.
Compliance Seal
