Pursuant to Art. 38 of the Act of 27 April 2001 on waste (Journal of Laws No. 62, item 628, as amended), PCB contaminated waste should be thermally disposed of in hazardous waste incineration plants. The regulations imposing an inventory of PCB devices did not come into force in Poland until 2002. In 1989 - 2002 large industrial plants which were modernizing them resold PCB devices to small enterprises. Currently, the problem is as follows, there are regulations for handling PCB contaminated waste, but in practice they are only used in large, modernized plants. Smaller entrepreneurs have poor knowledge of the legislation. To sum up, the huge dispersion of capacitors containing PCB-contaminated oils is characteristic of Poland. Most often, their owners are small plants with several pieces of this type of equipment. From the beginning of CHIMIREC-SEPTOS, we were aware of this problem, so even if the plant has 1 capacitor and is located in a remote location, we do not underestimate the reception. ATTENTION! THE USE OF PCB IS POSSIBLE ONLY UNTIL JUNE 30, 2010. !! We hand over PCB contaminated waste to APROCHIM - a branch of the CHIMIREC Group in France specialized in neutralizing this type of waste. APROCHIM has been offering collection, disposal and recycling services since 1989. The branch has received many awards, including: First place in the "Technologies of Economy and Cleanliness" competition (2006), First place in the "Energy Global Award" competition (2007). APROCHIM has the appropriate permit (pursuant to the decision n. 2006-P-953 bis of June 30, 2006) for the annual disposal of solids and oils contaminated with PCBs, in the amount of 30,000 tons <10,000 ppm.
