Description
Distinction must be made between:
• Scrap from used objects such as plates, tubes, tanks, water kettles, etc (harmless)
• Scrap produced during the manufacturing of objects such as borings, cuttings, filings shavings and turnings (dangerous; mainly contaminated with oil)
• Scrap generated through the production of aluminium, as dross, skimming (almost always dangerous)
Depending on the packing group, dangerous wastes must be shipped in hermetically sealed, reliable metal drums. Aluminium cuttings, with 2% moisture content, have been permitted to be packed in plywood cases on pallets. Aluminium skimming, dry and packed in sealed plastic bags in GP-containers.
Aluminium dross, aluminium residues and aluminium skimming are listed in section 24 of the General Introduction to the IMDG Code and in the Code of Safe practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes as “Material Hazardous only in Bulk” under BC No. 001.
