End-use Products
One of the objectives of the Ag Container Recycling Council is to evaluate methods of recycling (utilizing) pesticide container resins. As studies are ongoing, these “Recycling Requirements” may be amended as changes are recommended by the ACRC Technical Committee and approved by the ACRC Executive Board.
The Containers will be utilized in such a way that any residues on or in the resin will have no real or perceived adverse affect on the environment or the user. Recycling must be carried out using acceptable processes. Both processes and uses (End Use Products) will be subject to evaluation by the ACRC Technical Committee. As of May 25, 2010, End Use Products deemed acceptable are:
Plastic pesticide containers Industrial Pallets Agriculture Drain Pipe Speed bumps Parking stops Hazardous waste drums Scaffold nailing strips Commercial truck sub-floor support members Dock and sea wall pilings All other processes and products are deemed unacceptable at this time.
In addition, the manufacture of all End Use Products listed above is currently restricted to those facilities inspected and approved by the ACRC Technical Committee. |
