Mobile chemical waste disposal
6 Apr 2018 by Evoluted New Media
Resource management company Veolia has launched a chemical management service designed to provide a mobile solution for laboratory chemical waste.
Specifically designed to address the need for a flexible on site solution, Chempac uses Veolia’s team of qualified chemists to sample and catalogue waste to ensure compliance with waste identification legislation, and specifies the right recovery, recycling or treatment route. Delivered on a nationwide basis the service is supported by six specialist centres located across the UK.
Kevin Hurst, Veolia’s Chief Operating Officer, Industrial Customers UK said: “This new service now helps to guarantee compliance for our customers, and increases the efficiency of their operations whilst reducing costs and saving them time. By introducing best practice, innovation and process efficiencies each customer benefits from our experience and knowledge to ensure they receive the best solution for disposal of these materials.”
The process segregates each item based on potential hazards, physical and chemical properties to ensure correct classification and movement in accordance with UK legislation. Included in the service is the generation of the required regulatory paperwork that producers are required to hold to demonstrate that the necessary pre-acceptance and disposal considerations have been completed.
