SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
13.1Disposal methods
Product
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by
controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or
seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packaging
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning.
Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then
be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for
combustible packaging materials.
