1、 ANSI/ASABE S596 FEB2006 (R2015ED) Recycling Plastic Containers from Pesticides and Pesticide-Related Products American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers ASABE is a professional and technical organization, of members worldwide, who are dedicated to advancement of engineering applicabl

2、e to agricultural, food, and biological systems. ASABE Standards are consensus documents developed and adopted by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers to meet standardization needs within the scope of the Society; principally agricultural field equipment, farmstead equipment

3、, structures, soil and water resource management, turf and landscape equipment, forest engineering, food and process engineering, electric power applications, plant and animal environment, and waste management. NOTE: ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data are informational and advisory onl

4、y. Their use by anyone engaged in industry or trade is entirely voluntary. The ASABE assumes no responsibility for results attributable to the application of ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data. Conformity does not ensure compliance with applicable ordinances, laws and regulations. Pros

5、pective users are responsible for protecting themselves against liability for infringement of patents. ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data initially approved prior to the society name change in July of 2005 are designated as “ASAE“, regardless of the revision approval date. Newly develo

6、ped Standards, Engineering Practices and Data approved after July of 2005 are designated as “ASABE“. Standards designated as “ANSI“ are American National Standards as are all ISO adoptions published by ASABE. Adoption as an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requiremen

7、ts for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by ASABE. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more tha

8、n a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. CAUTION NOTICE: ASABE and ANSI standards may be revised or withdrawn at any time. Additionally, procedures of ASABE require

9、 that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw each standard. Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers. All rights reserved.

Keywords: Containers, Definitions, Pesticides, Plastic, Recycling, Safety, Storage, Surfactants 1 Purpose and scope 1.1 This Standard specifies management practices for effectiveness and safety in the handling, cleaning and recycling of used non-refillable, high density polyethylene (

13、HDPE) containers embossed with recycling symbol #2 up to 212 L (56 gal) that originally held pesticides and pesticide-related products (defined in paragraph 2.6) labeled for agriculture, forestry, professional specialty pesticide (defined in paragraph 2.8) use, and structural pest control. Container

14、s that originally held antimicrobial products that are subject to a tolerance or that require an exemption from a tolerance are within the scope of this Standard. Containers that originally held other antimicrobial products, veterinary products, consumer products, or consumer home and garden product

15、s are outside the scope of this Standard. Examples of HDPE containers covered by this Standard are shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Typical HDFE containers 1.2 This Standard is intended to assist applicators of pesticides and pesticide-related products labeled for the uses listed in paragraph 1.1; recycl

16、ing organizations; sites and facilities where containers are collected; entities that collect and granulate or otherwise reduce the volume of containers; plastic processors; manufacturers of end-use products; users of end-use products manufactured from recycled plastic; regulatory agencies; and chem

17、ical manufacturers and distributors. 1.3 This Standard specifies procedures and criteria for rinsing, preparing, inspecting and collecting containers; rejection criteria for unacceptable containers; volume reduction of, storing, and processing the plastic; transporting containers and plastic; manufa

18、cturing end-use products; determining acceptable end-use products; and ANSI/ASABE S596 FEB2006 (R2015ED) Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers 2 recordkeeping. These procedures and criteria are intended to ensure that the plastic will be handled and utilized to manufact

19、ure appropriate end-use products as described in Section 14 in such a way that the plastic will have no unreasonable adverse effect on the environment, people handling the plastic, or users of end-use products manufactured from recycled plastic. 1.4 The specifications in this Standard do not replace

20、, modify, or override regulations of appropriate jurisdictions. 1.5 Recordkeeping requirements are described in Sections 6, 9, 10, 12, and 13. These records shall be maintained to verify that procedures described in this Standard have been followed, to verify that the plastic is only used to manufac

21、ture acceptable end-use products, and to facilitate tracing recycled plastic back to its source. The information required shall be recorded on forms similar to the example forms provided in Figures 8-13 in normative Annex A. 2 Definitions 2.1 agricultural crop production: crop production at farms, f

22、orests, nurseries and greenhouses. 2.2 dry plastic: reduced-volume plastic that does not leave a moisture residue on an absorbent material (such as paper or corrugated cardboard). 2.3 fully drained container: a container that has been allowed to drain for 30 seconds after the flow is down to a drip.

23、 2.4 HDPE: high-density polyethylene (see paragraph 9.9). 2.4.1 blow-mold grade or fractional melt HDPE: HDPE that has a melt index value between 0 and 1. 2.4.2 high molecular weight HDPE: HDPE with a molecular weight numbering in the millions. 2.4.3 injection grade HDPE: HDPE with a melt index valu

24、e between 6 and 8 and a density of between 0.950 g/cm3and 0.955 g/cm3. 2.5 open head drum: drum with a removable head (top). 2.6 pesticide-related products: For the purposes of this Standard, pesticide-related products are adjuvants that are added to a pesticide spray mix. 2.7 processing plastic: th

25、e intermediate steps of handling plastic between volume reduction and end-use product manufacturing other than storage and transportation. Processing plastic includes, but is not limited to, washing, drying, and regrinding the plastic. 2.8 professional specialty pesticides: registered pesticides use

26、d by professional end users in turf, ornamental, pest control, aquatic and terrestrial vegetation management and other non-food/fiber applications. 2.9 shipping containers: gaylord boxes, flexible intermediate bulk containers, super-sacs or other vessels used to collect, transport and/or store reduc

27、ed-volume plastic. 2.10 tight head drum: drum with a non-removable head (top).
