What Is Hazardous Waste Authorization?

Hazardous Waste Authorization is an environmental authorization applicable to certain industries, facilities and businesses involved in the generation, collection, storage, treatment, recycling, utilisation or other regulated handling of hazardous waste, subject to the applicable environmental laws and regulatory requirements.

Industrial activities may generate waste containing hazardous characteristics due to the nature of raw materials, manufacturing processes, chemicals, oils, residues, sludges, solvents, contaminated materials or other industrial operations. Such waste requires proper identification, storage, handling and disposal or authorised management according to applicable requirements.

The exact applicability of Hazardous Waste Authorization depends on the nature of the industry, manufacturing process, type and quantity of waste generated, method of handling and other applicable regulatory criteria.

Proper Waste Identification Is Important

Before planning authorization and compliance, industries should clearly identify the type, source, quantity and management method of waste generated from their operations.
