13.1 Disposal methods
Product
The materialcan be disposed of by removalto alicensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incinerationwith flue gas scrubbing. Do not
contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not dischargeto sewer systems.
Contaminated packaging
Containerscan betriply rinsed (orequivalent)and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to makeit
unusablefor other purposesand then be disposed ofin asanitary landfill. Controlled incinerationwith flue gas scrubbing is possibleforcombustible
packagingmaterials.
