Why focus on Chemicals and Hazardous Wastes?

• Global production of chemicals has increased from 1M

tons in 1930 to 400M at present

• More than 20M known substances

• About 100,000 different substances registered in EU and

10,000 are marketed in quantities or volumes >10T

• Certain chemicals have caused

– Serious damages to human and the environment e.g. asbestos,

benzene, trichloroethane (TCA), trichloroethylene (TCE), DDT

– Incidence of some diseases has increased

– Some are persistent and becomes endocrine disruptor

Categories of TSD Facilities

Table 3. Prescribed Waste Treatment Facilities

Category Description

A Facilities that conduct on-site disposal of hazardous wastes

generated within the facility through industrial or

commercial processes and activities other than disposal via

sewer

B Commercial or industrial hazardous waste thermal

treatment facilities.

Facilities include those that conduct off-site thermal

treatment (i.e. pyrolysis, autoclave, microwave and

sterilization)

C Landfills that accept hazardous waste for disposal.

Facilities that accept only inert hazardous waste residues

for final disposal and not located on the waste generator’s

facilities.




EMB Central Office



D Facilities that recycle or reprocess hazardous waste which

are not generated or produced at the facility.

Facilities include those that receive offsite of hazardous

waste and recover valuable materials from the hazardous

wastes, use hazardous waste as input materials or fuel for

production, or produce compost by biological treatment of

hazardous waste.

It also includes, but are not limited to, facilities that

regenerate oil and solvents and recover metals from

hazardous wastes.

E Facilities that immobilize, encapsulate, polymerize or treat hazardous

wastes off-site.

Facilities include those that receive hazardous waste outside the premises

and transform physical and/or chemical characteristics of the hazardous

waste by physicochemical or thermal treatment in order to dispose of them

into the facilities in Category C:

E-1 Facilities to solidify sludge, ashes, and other hazardous wastes

E-2 Facilities to melt and solidify inorganic sludge, ash, and other inorganic

hazardous wastes

E-3 Physicochemical treatment facilities including neutralization, oxidation,

and reduction of waste acid, waste alkali, or waste solution containing

cyanide or chromium
