Higher risk workplaces like metal smelters, metal coating and metal Industry processing industries, where worker exposure to Cu compound – systematic wastes may be possible, are licensed by environmental regulators to controls control industrial processes and equipment so as to limit environmental emissions of pollutants like Cu. What control Potential industrial sources of Cu waste have strict emissions control measures are equipment in place, such as baghouse filters, dust extraction Industry – in place to systems, electrostatic precipitators and stringent trade waste exposure manage risks emissions agreements. Additionally at-risk workers wear appropriate controls posed by this personal protective equipment (PPE), particularly relating to waste? restricting exposure to airborne sources of copper. State and territory governments regulate the management of hazardous waste in their respective jurisdictions in Australia. These Government place strict controls on the methods of transport, treatment and disposal of all hazardous wastes, including this waste, through licensing, tracking and transport accreditation requirements. The National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme involves a combination of government regulation and industry action to take responsibility for the collection and recycling of waste televisions, computers, printers and computer products. Under the Scheme, householders and small business can drop-off these items for free at Community designated access points, which may include permanent collection sites, take-back events or through a mail-back option. While not expressly classified as a Y22/ D190 waste, e-waste contains significant amounts of copper, which are recovered for downstream recycling. 1. Australian Government.
