Population explosion
It has been estimated that by the year 2020 we can
have more 8 billion people as related to the present
population. The majority of these people will live in
unsafe conditions, without basic sanitation,
education or medical assistance. “Population
growth, together with adverse conditions, is creating
an unsustainable situation for the planet.”
Sustainable development
It is a new type of development, which searches a
compatible attending of the human being social and
economic needs with the need of preserving the
environment and natural resources, in a way to
assure the live sustainability in earth.
It is believed that the Sustainable Development will
be the only way to change poverty, wastes, social
and environmental issues.
14.5 - Recommendations for owners and
users of MF products
In face of the ecologic issues previously stated, we
have gathered bellow some suggestions, aiming
to get your consciousness about these issues that
involve the use and maintainance of your haverster
throughout it life cycle.
• Try to adopt good agricultural practices, which
cause minimum impact to the environment;
• Use your harvester with the maximum
efficiency possible, correctly adjusting the
implements, using proper implements and
operating in proper working conditions (gears,
engine revolutions, speed..), as exposed in this
Manual;
• Take the maximum advantage from your
harvester during the longest time possible. It
can be achieved by the proper preventive
maintenance, as described in Section 5 of this
Manual;
• Do Integrated Plague Management, which
consists in a series of procedures and
cropping monitoring, applying agricultural
defensives only when necessary and on the
correct amount;
• Do not permit fertilizing, seed and defensive
wastes, etc; Use the product only on the
indicated amount.
• Avoid burning, adopting proper cultivation
practices, like “straw planting” or Direct
Planting.
• Dispose fluids and parts replaced as stated
by Law.
Take a look in some examples:
Metals
Metals recycling offers a lot of advantages. Each
metric ton of steel recycled represents a saving of
1,140 kg of iron ore, 454 kg of coal, and 18 kg of
lime.
Oils and fluids
The use of lubricants in the equipment represents
a thermal-oxidative degradation and contaminants
accumulation, which makes the changes necessary.
Never discard oils or fluids directly on the
environment. Collect them and take to the gas
service station where you bought these products.
The oils can be refined or, in last case, incinerated
in industrial facilities regulated by Law.
Batteries
Left on the wilderness, the batteries cause dramatic
effects. So, take your used batteries to the recycling
companies or return them to the manufacturer, as
they have as obligation to give the batteries the
destination regulated by Law.
Tires
The energy generation and rebuilding were the fist
way of recycling these items. With improvements
in technology, new options arose, such as mixing
with asphalt.
Despite of the great number of tire rebuilding at the
present, which extends the tires life cycle in 40%,
the larger portion of wear tires are sent to landfills,
thrown in roads or river edges, or even in the
backyards of houses, attracting insects, carriers of
disease.
Plastics
The petroleum is the raw material to produce plastic.
The plastic, when recycled, consumes only 10% of
the power required to produce the same amount
from raw materials.
As for the glass, the plastic is not biodegradable.
Therefore, and due to its growing usage, the
recycling of plastic is essential.
Glasses
Glass scraps has several applications, such as:
asphalt composition, foam and fiber glass
production, novelty jewelry and reflexive inks.
