Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention, when discarding a product, easily judges whether or not it contains a harmful substance that adversely affects the human body and the environment, removes the substance, and separates it from the product. It relates to products that have this label in order to make it easier and prevent accidentally mixing hazardous substances into general waste.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional products are designed / produced, distributed from consumers to consumers, and used for required purposes, and after use, they are often discarded. Depending on the product, the broken one may be repaired and used again, or it may be delivered to a pawn shop or a second-hand dealer for a price. In either case, it is finally discarded. At that time, valuable materials such as gold and copper are collected and reused as materials, but other materials are incinerated or landfilled for disposal.

In recent years, the above-mentioned disposal method has been regarded as a problem from the viewpoint of environmental protection and resource conservation. Incineration is a problem from the perspective of global warming and air pollution. For landfill, although the landfill site has disappeared, new construction of the landfill site has become difficult, and there are problems such as groundwater pollution.
Improvement measures and countermeasures, such as reviewing landfill methods and reviewing the types of waste, have been added.

Regarding groundwater pollution, the Water Pollution Control Law was revised in March 1994, and the water quality standards were revised to strengthen. Along with this, the standards of the waste disposal law are going to be strengthened from the viewpoint of groundwater pollution, and there is a tendency that the regulation of home appliances, automobile equipment parts, and even plastic products will be strengthened.

On the other hand, although the remaining capacity of the treatment plant that receives these wastes is getting smaller, it is difficult to construct a new treatment plant in the suburbs of the city because of the destruction of the local environment. The situation is becoming difficult.

[0006] As one of these measures, recycling is considered in order to use it as a product as a part or as a material for as long as possible. There are recycling of products themselves, recycling of parts, and recycling as materials. From this point of view, the way of thinking of consumers is beginning to change, and R & D by industry, academia and government is accelerating further.

However, no matter how long the product is used, it will eventually reach the end of its useful life and must be discarded. The disposal law is becoming a problem.

[0008]

When a product is discarded,
If a substance containing substances that have a harmful effect on the human body and the environment (hereinafter referred to as toxic substances) is directly disposed of at a general waste disposal site, the toxic substances will melt out for a long time, causing soil contamination and groundwater contamination. There is a risk of becoming. Therefore, alkyl mercury, mercury or its compounds, cadmium or its compounds,
Organic phosphorus compounds, hexavalent chromium compounds, and others are regulated as harmful substances. Once polluted, it takes a great deal of time and money to restore it to its original state. Therefore, it is necessary to dispose of harmful substances that may cause soil pollution or groundwater pollution, or to dispose of them in a treatment facility that is not soaked even if discarded. As described above, it is necessary to separate the harmful substances as much as possible and reduce the amount of waste as much as possible, because it requires a large amount of cost to maintain the facilities so as not to elute, and it is difficult to reuse the treatment plant.

For this reason, it is becoming important to dispose of those that contain harmful substances and those that do not contain harmful substances when disposing of them. Therefore, it is possible to easily distinguish between those that contain harmful substances and those that do not, and it is possible to easily determine which component parts are used even in products that contain harmful substances, and separate them from the products. If it can be removed, the treatment of harmful substances will be limited to the removed parts, so it will be possible to reduce the volume, and it will be easier to detoxify, which will reduce the treatment cost and make effective use of the disposal site. .

It is an object of the present invention to provide a product in which it is possible to easily see what kind of harmful substance is loaded and where.

[0011]

[Means for Solving the Problems] It is indicated that a harmful substance taken up by law as a substance that has a bad influence on the human body or the environment is mounted on the display outside or inside the product in an easily visible place. indicate. The display shows the type of the harmful substance mounted, the place where the harmful substance is mounted, the name of the component containing the harmful substance, and the like.

Further, the inspection function is provided so that the additional amount can be found when the product is installed at the time of manufacturing the product, but is taken out at the time of repairing or remodeling, or conversely, when an item not installed at the time of manufacturing the product is added And a column for additional display is provided.

The type of the harmful substance can be displayed even in a small empty space, and the type of the harmful substance installed is displayed by color or symbol so that it is easy to understand and correct.
