Hazardous and Solid Waste Management
Cradle to grave waste characterisation, minimisation and compliance
Hazardous and Solid
Waste Management
Hazardous waste carries a liability that does not end at the factory gate, because under cradle to grave regimes you as the generator remain accountable for what happens to a waste stream through transport, treatment and final disposal, long after it has left your site. Sound management therefore starts with honest characterisation, the determination that classifies a stream and dictates every lawful handling, storage and disposal route, and it is governed by the waste hierarchy where you prevent and minimise at source first, then reuse, recycle and recover and only then dispose. Our team builds full lifecycle programmes around that logic, covering accurate characterisation, source minimisation, compliant on site storage and segregation, manifested transport to authorised facilities and records that withstand regulator and auditor review, all aligned with India's Hazardous and Other Wastes Rules, the RCRA and Basel transboundary requirements and the circular economy objectives that turn a cost and liability stream into recovered value where we can.
Our implementation model
A practical, phased delivery approach that runs from gap assessment through operational embedding and is built around your regulatory context.
Build waste inventory per source, generation rate, and classification, RCRA hazardous (F / K / P / U list, characteristic, ignitable / corrosive / reactive / toxic), EU EWC / List of Wastes, Basel Convention Annex VIII, align with national hazardous waste rules.
Design waste minimisation per EPA P2 hierarchy / EU Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC, source reduction (ISD), recycling, energy recovery, treatment, disposal, quantify reduction targets per corporate sustainability.
Design on site management per RCRA Part 264/265 / EU IED, containers, tanks, labelling, accumulation start date, weekly inspection, 90/180/270 day accumulation limits, specify treatment per RCRA permit (Part B) or EU IED.
Design transport / manifest system per DOT 49 CFR / RCRA Part 263 / Basel Convention / EU Waste Shipment Regulation, manifest preparation, transporter qualification, designated facility verification.
Specify TSDF (Treatment, Storage, Disposal Facility) selection per RCRA Part 264 / EU IED, audit, permit verification, financial assurance, indemnification, align with corporate vendor management and cradle to grave liability.
Design waste reporting per RCRA Biennial Report / EU EPRTR / national hazardous waste returns, maintain manifest records (3+ years per RCRA), training records, contingency plan, and emergency response procedure per RCRA Part 264 Subpart D.
