Hi Amy, how are you doing today?
Amy
I am doing fine , thank you.
What about you?
Nick
I am great, thanks for asking.
Amy
I am worried about the waste streams at my facility.
Can you give me a piece of advice about it?
Nick
Sure
Amy
How can I identify waste streams?
Nick
Map out the business and operational processes to find out where waste is generated and identify each different type of waste.
Nick
Amy, do you know what hazardous or non-hazardous waste is?
Amy
No, I don't. Tell me more bout it.
Nick
Sure.
Non-hazardous waste can be waste that’s generated from your production or packaging processes. Hazardous waste is waste that poses an immediate threat to human and environmental health .
Amy
Interesting.
I am learning alot from you.
Tell me , can my company operate without regulations, permits and licenses?
Nick
No way!
Your company must obtain all necessary permits, licenses, and approvals for waste handling and disposal.
Amy
I'll tell my boss about it.
Nick, how can my company keep waste inventory?
Nick
Well , your company must measure the amount of waste generated in your facilities. Track this using onsite weighing scales, waste invoices, and receipts for waste materials sold.
Amy
I see.
Well , I have to go.
See you around Nick.
Nick
Good bye , take care.
