Unfortunately, not all packages may be used to transport dangeorus substances. They must satisfy ADR requirements and possess appropriate certificate.

 

What is ADR?

 

It is a European agreement pertaining to international carriage of dangerous goods by road (ADR), prepared in Geneva on 30 September 1957, ratified by Poland in 1975. All parties to the agreement are listed on the website of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.

ADR Agreement is an extensive legal act, covering with the scope of its regulations a number of fields connected with carriage of dangerous goods. It consists of the main body of the Agreement determining legal relations between participating parties and attachments A and B containing provisions regulating conditions transport of particular dangerous goods by road in in a wide scope.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_spacer height=”33″][vc_column_text][dt_quote type=”pullquote” layout=”right” font_size=”H3″ animation=”none” size=”1″]

Provisions of ADR are amended every two years – Polish updated version of the agreement (uniform text) is published in the Journal of Laws

Packages (IBC containers and  steel or plastic drums) for dangerous goods were subject to the examination of construction type , that is a comprehensive examination covering endurance test constituting a simulation of possible events which may occur in the course of exploitation and also which are to confirm admission of a given type of IBC (DPPL) or steel/plastic drum for transportation of particular dangerous good or a group of goods. Examination of construction type are performed by “competent authorities” or authorised unit. A positive result of the examination gives right to label each item of IBC (DPPL) or steel/plastic drum  corresponding to its standard construction type with “UN” designation. Apart from designation UN, additional signs and symbols are placed on a packaging. Together with UN designation they jointly constitute a specific certificate confirming that packaging may be used for dangerous substances for particular packaging group (X, Y, Z). Explanation of particular symbols and signs is presented below.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1013″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_spacer height=”33″][ultimate_spacer height=”33″][vc_single_image image=”1031″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][ultimate_spacer height=”33″][ultimate_spacer height=”33″][vc_column_text]Packaging having III packaging group (Z) must not be used for substances for which provisions of ADR stipulate use of a higher packaging group (X or Y), whereas packagings with I packaging group (X) may be used in order to carry dangerous goods for all groups because it is a packaging subject to the strictest ADR examinations, that satisfies high safety norms.

Recycling and management of packaging

Recycling and management of packaging

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”985″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][ultimate_spacer height=”33″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”987″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Recycling and management of packaging waste is not only selection, regeneration and processing of packagings. An essential factor of the entire process is also logistics. Market generates a very diverse type of packagings. Among them are paleto containers IBC, commonly referred to as Mausers’, steel barrels, plastic barrels, or smaller packagings like hobbock and canisters. Packagings vary in shape, size, capacity, weight etc.

This diversity makes transport tasks a great challenge. In order to meet these requirements and expectations of customers, our company uses specialised transport fleet adjusted to transport spatial cargoes. These are both large sets (cars with trailer) with cubature of 120m³ of load area and smaller vehicles, dedicated to even unit acceptance. Thanks to this, we could offer very favourable logistic conditions within the entire country.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_spacer height=”33″][vc_column_text][dt_quote type=”pullquote” layout=”right” font_size=”H3″ animation=”none” size=”1″]Our minima amount to:
– paleto conatainer IBC: 1 piece
– barrels: 8 pieces
– cannisters: 5 pallets

[/dt_quote][/vc_column_text][ultimate_spacer height=”33″][ultimate_spacer height=”33″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Each time, acceptance conditions are analysed and arranged with a customer in order to adjust them to present needs and offer the most optimal solutions.
Such flexibility allows to implement basically each order. Satisfaction of a customer is of crucial importance for us. Therefore, we constantly modernise our logistic facilities. Such measure was introduction of a modern control and monitor system of our fleet which allows for precise localisation, improves planning and quick obtainment of information regarding current load status.

This year, we are going to purchase further two spatial sets in order to further improve the quality of our services. We know that nothing mobilise so much as satisfaction of a customer and common success, and such actions allow us for full implementation of this.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”988″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) 

High-density polyethylene (HDPE)

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a commonly used material, and in some branches of industry even indispensable. Its properties, such as resistance to solutions of acids, alkalis and salts and low temperature are reasons why it is used to production of a wide range of products such as containers (like barrels of different capacities or canisters), pipes, films and many other.
From the very beginning, the activity of Drum Clean Recycling Sp. z o.o. has been pro-ecological. Restoring used DPPL containers or barrels to market turnover undoubtedly supports environmental protection. The experience gained within 10 years brought us to expand the scope of provided services for recycling of synthetics, which allowed for re-using even the containers (cartridges of DPPL containers and barrels and HDPE canister) which could not be saved in other manner.

In this way, we obtain raw material which can be successfully used for the production of new products, such as those from which it was created. Apart from pro-ecological aspect, a possibility of cost optimisation will be significantly important for our contractors due to the fact  our regranulate is substantially cheaper from new HDPE material. We usually produce regranulate in three colours: straw, blue and black, but we are able to adjust ourselves to other requirements of a customer.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”972″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Welcome to DCR Sp. z o.o.

Welcome to DCR Sp. z o.o.

We commenced our niche activities by reconditioning steel and plastic drums, subsequently introducing other products and services to our offer, including IBC pallet tank reconditioning, RECO pallet tank production, stainless steel tank production, or regrind production. Owing to dynamic organic development and acquisitions, we have become a leading company in the business.

At the present day, the company operates six professional production lines for industrial packaging reconditioning and recycling. Owing to our competent staff and the necessary technical infrastructure, we can maintain an effective and environmentally friendly production process.

Our offer is intended for companies that generate empty packaging and seek to process these products in the most environmentally friendly way possible, as well as for companies packaging their products in IBC pallet tanks and drums.

Since the time of our establishment, we have reconditioned over a million industrial containers.

Numerous studies conducted so far in Europe, USA, and Japan indicate that reconditioning of industrial packaging instead of continuous production has considerable impact on greenhouse emission containment. Relying on such studies, we can state that by enabling re-use of industrial packaging, DCR spares us all 6 thousand tons of CO2 emissions a year. Owing to our customers, this reduction in emissions still grows.

DCR’s operations are consistent with the principles of sustainability and circular economy, the purpose of which is to establish a closed-circuit type of economy. Reconditioning industrial packaging, we provide an opportunity for it to be used multiple times, thus reducing the amount of waste generated, and decreasing greenhouse emissions. We believe that there is a future in what we do.
