Laboratory glassware

Laboratory glassware, like E-flasks and beakers are not packaging and should therefore not be left with other glass.

Laboratory glassware usually consists of borosilicate glass, quartz glass or special glass, unlike glass packaging consisting of soda glass. If soda glass is mixed with other glass qualities, the possibility of recycling is destroyed.

Laboratory glassware is divided into the following fractions:

1. Non-contaminated laboratory glass (in a whole and broken state) - pack well and handle as residual waste.
2. Contaminated laboratory glass (in a whole and broken state) - handle and label based on current contamination e. g. infectious, radioactive, chemical residue.
