Water-based architectural coating solid waste management group standards will be released soon

In our review of the 2008 version of the “National Hazardous Waste List” (old list), the relevant waste generated during the production and use of paint is listed as hazardous waste, and is Management and disposal of hazardous waste control standards.
As time goes by, in the newly revised “National Hazardous Waste List” in 2016, the category of hazardous waste generated during the production and use of coating is HW12—dye , Paint waste category 264-011-12, 264-012-12, 900-251-12, 900-252-12 waste codes have added “not including water-based paint”, which means that the related waste generated during the production and use of water-based paint is no longer classified as hazardous waste.
Although the solid waste of water-based architectural coatings is no longer classified as hazardous waste, because there is no operability standard as a basis, the current solid waste generated in the production of water-based architectural coatings in Shanghai Still in accordance with the old methods of “hazardous waste” standards for identification and disposal, which makes some water-based architectural coating manufacturers more troublesome.
So, what kind of standards should the related waste generated during the production and use of water-based architectural coatings be managed and disposed of?
In order to improve the technical level of the water-based construction coating industry in Shanghai, regulate the disposal of solid waste, and promote the green and sustainable development of the industry, the Shanghai Coatings and Dye Industry Association is currently taking the lead in stepping up the compilation of group standards— — “Classification, Identification and Management Standards for Waterborne Architectural Coatings.” The standards are expected to be completed in the second half of this year.
According to the relevant survey data of the city’s coating industry conducted by the Shanghai Coating and Dyestuff Industry Association, there are currently about 200 architectural coatings manufacturers in Shanghai, and the output of architectural coatings is about 100. 10,000 tons, the number of enterprises and output are both in the forefront of the country, and the construction coating industry has become a force that cannot be ignored in advancing Shanghai’s urban construction.
Based on extensive investigations, the Shanghai Coatings and Dyestuff Industry Association, under the support and guidance of the Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau and the Shanghai Solid Waste Management Center, began in January 2018, led by the association, and united with major architectural coating manufacturers in Shanghai. Founded by Tang Hongxia, Ph.D. from Shanghai Solid Waste Management Center, Zhang Xiankang, Professor of Shanghai University, Lin Xuanyi, Chief Engineer of Shanghai Shendeou Coating Company, Zhang Shuihe, Secretary General of Shanghai Coatings and Dyestuff Industry Association, and Shanghai Coatings The preparation expert group composed of Jiang Meifen, deputy secretary-general of the Dyestuff Industry Association, and others, under the strong support and coordination of the chairman of the Shanghai Coatings and Dyestuff Industry Association He Koubao, carried out the classification, control standards and supervision and management of water-based architectural coating solid waste. Research to form the group standard “Standards for Classification, Identification and Management of Solid Waste from Water-based Architectural Coatings.” At present, many expert review seminars have been launched, and the preparation work is proceeding in full swing.
Zhang Shuihe, secretary general of the Shanghai Coating and Dyestuff Industry Association, said that the establishment of the group standard will strengthen the management and control of water-based construction coating companies in the coating production process in Shanghai, and promote industry self-discipline; at the same time, Through the implementation of the group standard, the technical level of the industry will be improved, and the production of water-based architectural coatings will be green, environmentally friendly, safe and sustainable.
