Hazardous waste refers to materials that are ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic, or otherwise dangerous to human health and the environment. Improper disposal can lead to soil contamination, water pollution, air hazards, and serious health risks.
Common Types of Hazardous Waste We Handle
- Ignitable Waste: Solvents, fuels, paints, and other flammable liquids (~5 million tonnes/year in India).
- Corrosive Waste: Strong acids, alkalis, and battery acids requiring neutralization before disposal.
- Reactive Waste: Explosive or unstable chemicals that react dangerously under certain conditions.
- Toxic Waste: Heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, and industrial pesticides (~2 million tonnes/year).
- Universal Waste: Batteries, fluorescent lamps, and mercury-containing equipment.
- Mixed Waste: Hazardous materials combined with radioactive substances.
Our Hazardous Waste Management Approach
- Segregation & Storage: Proper classification at the source to prevent contamination.
- Secure Transportation: GPS-enabled vehicles, trained drivers, and strict compliance with regulatory norms.
- Treatment & Disposal: Incineration, chemical neutralization, or secure landfills at authorized facilities.
- Monitoring & Reporting: Complete documentation and reporting to PCB authorities for accountability.
