Slovenci smo eden od vodilnih narodov po porabi nagrobnih sveč. Tako v Sloveniji zaradi uporabe nagrobnih sveč letno nastane med 8.000 in 10.000 ton odpadkov, ki končajo na deponijah za komunalne odpadke. Odpadne nagrobne sveče niso nevaren odpadek, škodljiv vpliv na okolje pa je njihovo odstranjevanje. Teh negativnih učinkov pa se ljudje sploh ne zavedamo. Več kot 95 % vseh sveč v Sloveniji ima ohišje iz PVC plastike, ki zaradi svojih neustreznih lastnosti ni primerno za snovno reciklažo. Namen diplomskega dela je bil ugotoviti osveščenost ljudi o problematiki nagrobnih sveč v Sloveniji in njihovem vplivu na okolje. S pomočjo anonimnega anketnega vprašalnika smo pridobili potrebne podatke. Razkrajanje PVC plastike ima negativen vpliv na okolje, saj se pri tem sprošča škodljiv klor. To trditev smo tudi dokazali z Beilsteinovo reakcijo. V diplomskem delu smo opisali nekaj že obstoječih alternativ, kot so: elektronski modul, solarne nagrobne sveče, sveče, izdelane iz stekla, in nagrobne sveče, izdelane iz polipropilena (PP), ter opisali Fundacijo Svečka. Predstavili smo tudi okoljske dajatve za onesnaževanje okolja zaradi nastajanja odpadne embalaže. Slovenians are one of the leading nations in candle usage. In Slovenia the use of candles creates between 8.000 and 10.000 tons of waste annually that ends up in landfills for municipal waste. Candle waste is not a dangerous waste but harmful impact on the environment has their removal. Unfortunately we are not aware of these negative effects. More than 95 % of all candles in Slovenia has a container made of PVC plastic which is due to unsuitable substances not suitable for recycling. The purpose of my thesis was to find out people's awareness of the problem with candles in Slovenia and the impact on the environment it has. All needed data we collected with the help of an anonymous survey. Recycling of PVC plastic has a negative impact on the environment because during the process harmful chlorine is released. This argument was also shown with Beilstein reaction. In my work I described some of the existing alternatives such as electronic candles, solar candles, candles made of glass and candles made from PP (polypropylene). I also described organization Fundacija Svečka. In thesis you will find presentation of environmental tax for pollution caused by packaging waste. |
