    Environmental

    StewardshipIt is the responsibility of all employees to

    manage chemical waste in a reasonable

    manner.

    Failure to do so can result in harm to other

    employees and/or destruction of work areas

    due to fires, explosions, or spills.

    Responsibilities

    Hazardous chemical wastes are governed by

    Federal, tate, and local regulations.

    Failure to manage waste properly can result in

    large fines and penalties! not only to the

    "#, but to the individuals generating the

    waste.

    Waste Minimization

    16/42

    What is Waste

    Minimization?

    + Waste minimization includes: source

    reductionpractices that reduce oreliminate waste generation at the source;

    and environmentally sound recycling

    practices, where source reduction is not

    economically practical.

  • 7/18/2019 Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training

    17/42

    Source Reduction

    + includes any practice that reduces the

    'uantity and/or toxicity of pollutantsentering a waste stream prior to recycling,

    treatment, or disposal.

  • 7/18/2019 Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training

    18/42

    E'amples of Source

    Reduction equipment or technology modifications,

    reformulation or redesign of products,

    substitution of less toxic raw materials,

    improvements in work practices,

    maintenance,

    better inventory control.

  • 7/18/2019 Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training

    19/42

    Recycling

    + includes the use, reuse and/or reclamation

    of waste residuals =that may be designated

    as a hazardous waste> or materials in a

    hazardous waste.

    used or reused0

    + if it is used as an ingredient in a process tomake a product or, or if it is used as an

    effective substitute for a commercial

    product.
