<p>Created Page + Added Basic Sections/Info</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>=Basics=<br /> *This page aims to go over existing, and potential additional, labels that aid in the sorting, [[Reuse]] , [[Recycling]] , and Disposal / Utilization of [[Municipal Solid Waste]] (ie Trash)<br /> <br /> =Resin Codes=<br /> *Also known as the “recycling symbol”<br /> *Sadly many useful plastics are only listed as “other”<br /> <br /> =Fire Diamonds=<br /> *Shows flammability, reactivity, environmental+health harm, and sometimes other useful info<br /> <br /> =Do Not Throw Away Symbol=<br /> *On electronics/batteries etc<br /> <br /> =Potentially Useful Ones=<br /> == [[RDF Compatibility Label]] ==<br /> *Basically Somehow Convey:<br /> **If it has Sulfur/How Much<br /> **If it has Halogens or Heavy Metals<br /> **How “Cleanly” it burns (although this is a bit subjective and [[Incinerator]] / [[W2E]] System Dependent<br /> **[[Calorific Value]] (maybe at a standard “dryness” ) and [[Ash Content]]<br /> *This could also be condensed into numbers such as<br /> **1.) Burnable anywhere with due diligence (Wood/Paper etc)<br /> **2.) Burnable in Specialized Devices (Plastics, Oils, etc)<br /> **3.) Burnable in Specialized Devices with Basic [[Pollution Control Measures]] <br /> **4.) Burnable in Specialized Devices with Advanced [[pollution Control Measures]] <br /> **5.) Not Burnable<br /> **6.) Explosive if Burned<br /> **Could also have the numbers but some symbol for where it only “burns” Endothermically/Mostly So (ie it either needs to be blended with higher quality [[Solid Fuels]] or have gas burners in the incinerator etc<br /> <br /> =Internal Links=<br /> *<br /> <br /> =External Links=<br /> *<br /> <br /> [[Category: Bio-Peteochemistry]] [[Category: Energy]] [[Category: Pollution]] [[Category: Waste Management]]</div>
