Authorisation is only the start
Units generating, storing, handling or disposing of hazardous waste require authorisation from the State Pollution Control Board under the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016.
Getting the authorisation is the easy part. Keeping the records that prove compliance across a whole year is where units actually fail.
What we handle
- Waste characterisation - identifying which streams are hazardous and under which category
- Authorisation application and renewal, with quantity justification
- Storage compliance - impervious flooring, containment, labelling, permitted storage period
- Manifest system - the movement documents that must accompany every consignment
- TSDF and recycler coordination - and verifying they are actually authorised for your waste category
- Annual returns and reconciliation
The reconciliation trap. Quantity generated, quantity stored, quantity dispatched and quantity reported must agree. They usually do not, because four different people track them in four different places. This is the single most common hazardous waste finding in an audit.
Verify your disposal chain
Handing waste to a transporter is not the end of your liability. If the receiving facility is not authorised for that category, the problem returns to the generator. We verify authorisation status before waste moves, not after a notice arrives.
Where it connects
Hazardous waste data feeds directly into your Form-V Environmental Statement and is examined during every environmental audit and board inspection.
