9.4

DEFINITIONS
Waste is a product for which we still do not know any use and every waste would
one day prove to be a valuable purpose and economic value. We should struggle
to search for this economic value.
Waste Management is the act of keeping the working environment cleared of all
unnecessary waste and materials.

Hazardous Waste Classification: There are 3 classes of waste as follows:

Hazardous Waste (Class I)

All hazardous wastes are defined as Class I: they are classified as those,
which constitute a high degree of hazard for public health and the
environment. Hazardous waste includes, those materials, which are ignitable,
corrosive, reactive, toxic or radioactive.

A substance is defined as hazardous depending on its physical and chemical


properties, and its quantity. All recovered spilled industrial material is to be
treated as hazardous waste and cannot be disposed of directly to landfill
unless it meets the Local Regulatory Authority requirements.

Non Hazardous Wastes

A non-hazardous solid waste as any waste that is not hazardous; they can be
classified as:

Class II: Biodegradable or Chemical Decomposable Waste


Decomposable waste (Class II) - Non-hazardous solids and sludge which
are biologically or chemically reactive in the natural environment such as
paper, wood, household garbage, some metals, animal wastes and
digested sewage sludge.
Class III: Inert Waste
Inert waste (Class III) - Wastes which are not biologically or chemically
active in the natural environment. Examples include glass, concrete and
brick materials, broken clay and chinaware, most plastics and
manufactured rubber products.
