Industrial Waste

Hazardous waste refers to materials that pose a risk to health, safety, and the environment due to their toxic, flammable, corrosive, sharp, or reactive nature. 

Proper handling and disposal are crucial to mitigate potential harm and ensure regulatory compliance.

WEEE waste, or Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment, encompasses discarded electronic devices, like computers, TVs, and mobile phones. 

It also includes industrial equipment, such as electric tools. Proper disposal is essential due to the potential environmental and health risks from hazardous components like lead and mercury.

Metal waste comprises scrap metal generated during manufacturing processes, construction, and demolition activities. It includes ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as steel, aluminium, and copper. 

Recycling this waste reduces environmental impact, conserves resources, and supports sustainable material management practices.

Packaging waste refers to materials like cardboard, plastic, and paper used to contain, protect, and transport goods. It includes both consumer and industrial packaging. 

Managing packaging waste involves recycling, reuse, or responsible disposal to minimise environmental impact and promote resource efficiency in supply chains.

Paper waste consists of discarded paper materials, including newspapers and office paper.  

Efficient paper waste management involves recycling to conserve resources and promote sustainability in paper production and consumption.

Cardboard waste refers to discarded cardboard materials originating from manufacturing, distribution, and packaging processes within industries. 

It includes boxes, packaging materials, and corrugated cardboard. Managing industrial cardboard waste involves efficient recycling methods to minimise environmental impact, conserve resources, and promote sustainability in production processes.

Plastic waste comprises discarded plastic materials originating from manufacturing, production, and packaging processes within industries. It encompasses various plastic types and forms, such as packaging, containers, and manufacturing scraps. 

Effective management involves recycling and sustainable disposal methods to mitigate environmental impact and promote resource conservation.

Wood waste encompasses discarded wood materials originating from manufacturing, construction, and demolition activities within industries. 

It includes pallets, lumber scraps, and packaging materials. Managing wood waste involves recycling, reuse, or responsible disposal to minimize environmental impact and support sustainable forestry practices.

Textile waste refers to discarded textile materials originating from manufacturing, production, and processing activities within industries. 

It includes fabric scraps, offcuts, and end-of-roll materials. Managing textile waste involves recycling, repurposing, or responsible disposal to promote sustainable textile production practices.

Oil waste comprises discarded oils and lubricants generated from manufacturing, automotive, and industrial processes. 

It includes used engine oil, hydraulic fluids, and cutting oils. Proper management involves recycling, treatment, or disposal methods to minimise environmental contamination and ensure regulatory compliance.

Battery waste consists of discarded batteries used in various industrial applications, such as forklifts, backup power systems, and electronics. 

It includes lead-acid, lithium-ion, and nickel-cadmium batteries. Effective management involves recycling to recover valuable materials and prevent environmental contamination from hazardous components.
