1.6 PACKING
MATERIAL
Rosemount Tank Radar AB is fully certified according to ISO 14000
environmental standards. By recycling the plywood boxes material used for
shipping our products you can contribute to take care of the environment.
1.6.1
Reuse
Experience has shown that NEFAB ExPak packaging can be used 4-5 times.
1.6.2
Recycling
After careful disassembly the plywood sides may be reused. Metal waste may
be converted.
1.6.3
Energy recovery
Products which have served their time may be divided into wood and metal
components and the wood can be used as fuel in sufficient ovens.
Due to its low moisture content (approximately 7%) this fuel has a higher
calorific value than ordinary wood fuel (moisture content approximately 20%).
When burning interior plywood the nitrogen in the adhesives may increase
emissions of nitrogen oxides to the air 3-4 times more than when burning bark
and splinter.
NOTE!
Landfill is not a recycling option and should be avoided.
