An industrial waste management plan starts with an inventory of waste and its classification into hazardous and non-hazardous, then segregation at source, safe temporary storage, contracts with licensed parties for transport, treatment and recycling, and finally documentation of every shipment with periodic reports. That is what achieves compliance with Waste Management Law 202 of 2020 and recovers value from scrap.
The six steps
- Inventory: waste types, sources and monthly volumes.
- Classification: hazardous (batteries, boards, chemicals) and non-hazardous.
- Segregation at source: separate, labelled containers on each line.
- Temporary storage: safe, ventilated areas for hazardous waste.
- Contracts: licensed parties for transport, treatment and scrap buying.
- Documentation & reporting: a waste register, handover documents and certificates.
What can be recovered?
| Waste | Route |
|---|---|
| Electronic scrap and boards | Metal recovery |
| Cables | Copper recycling |
| Obsolete equipment | Purchase, refurbishment or recycling |
| Defective products | Documented destruction, then material recycling |
Required registers
WMRA conditions include keeping a register of hazardous materials and waste and an industrial waste register available for inspection, so handover documents from licensed parties should be part of these records.
