Hazardous Waste Management Consulting

• Waste arising from a factory/manufacturing process in the form of effluents and emissions and containing physical, chemical, biological, reactive, toxic, flammable, explosive and corrosive materials which could cause danger or likely to cause danger to health or environment, is called as hazardous waste. Any individual or a business entity engaged in the Generation, Collection, Storage, Transportation, Reception, Reuse, Recycling, Recovery, Pre-processing, Co-processing, Utilizations, Treatment, Disposal and Incineration of Hazardous materials is required to apply for an Authorization certificate from the respective State Pollution Board or Pollution Control Committee.
• Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Trans boundary Movement) Rules, 2016 rules have been notified for the management of hazardous and other wastes.

Code                Characteristics

H1       Explosive

An explosive substance is a waste, whether solid or liquid and is likely to produce gas by any chemical reaction generating temperature and pressure which may be harmful for the individuals or environment .

H 3      Flammable liquids

Flammable liquids are liquids, or mixtures of liquids, such as paints, varnishes, lacquers, which produce a flammable vapor at temperatures of 60º C.

H 4.1      Flammable solids

Solids, or waste solids, other than those classed as explosives, which may be readily combustible, or may cause fire through friction, during its transportation.

H 4.2      Substances or wastes liable to spontaneous combustion

Substances or wastes which are known for spontaneous heating even at room temperature during the transport, or for heating by coming in contact with air resulting in fire.

H 4.3      Substances or wastes which, in contact with water emit flammable gases

Substances or wastes which, may become spontaneously flammable or produce flammable gases in dangerous quantities.

H 5.1      Oxidizing

Substances or wastes which are not combustible themselves but may contribute to the combustion or other materials by yielding oxygen.

H 5.2     Organic Peroxides

Organic substances or wastes which contain the bivalent-o-o-structure are thermally unstable substances which may undergo exothermic self-accelerating decomposition.

H 6.1       Poisons

Substances or wastes which may cause death or serious injury or harm the human health if swallowed or inhaled or by skin contact.

H 6.2      Infectious substances

Substances or wastes containing viable micro-organisms or their toxins which are known or suspected to cause disease in animals or humans.

H 8      Corrosives

Substances or wastes which, by chemical action, will cause severe damage when in contact with living tissue, or, in the case of leakage, will materially damage, or even destroy, other goods or the means of transport; they may also cause other hazards.

H 10     Liberation of toxic gases in contact with air or water

Substances or wastes which, by interaction with air or water, are liable to give off toxic gases in dangerous quantities.

H 11     Toxic (delayed or chronic)

Substances or wastes which, if they are inhaled or ingested or if they penetrate the skin, may involve delayed or chronic effects, including carcinogenicity).

H 12    Eco-toxic

Substances or wastes which if released, present or may present immediate or delayed adverse impacts to the environment by means of bioaccumulation or toxic effects upon biotic systems or both.

The Government fee for application for Hazardous Waste Authorization is generally NIL or Rs.10,000 and may depend on the State Pollution Control Board. If an agency is hired for the same, it may charge you. Metacorp charges Rs.10,000 as consulting fee for the end to end delivery of Hazardous Waste Authorization.
