Laboratories

Laboratories are a significant source of chemical waste, including solvents, resins, acids, dyes, and mercury-containing products like thermometers. The disposal of these chemicals, especially those used for research purposes, demands stringent security measures to prevent any harmful impact on the environment and human health.

Healthcare or Clinical Facilities

Hospitals, doctors’ surgeries, and health centres produce substantial volumes of chemical waste daily. Maintaining clean and sterile environments to protect patients involves the use of numerous cleaning products and disinfectants, all of which require proper disposal to avoid contamination and ensure safety.

Factories

The manufacturing process in factories generates significant amounts of chemical waste, such as waste oil and brake fluids. Proper disposal of these materials is crucial to prevent environmental pollution and comply with industry regulations.

Dry Cleaners

Dry cleaners use chemical cleaning products like Perchloroethylene (PERC). While PERC is effective for cleaning and laundering clothes, it can pose a significant environmental threat if not disposed of correctly. Safe disposal practices are essential to mitigate this risk.

Farms and Agricultural Businesses

Farms and agricultural businesses produce large volumes of chemical waste, including pesticides, brake fluids, and waste oils. Proper management and disposal of these substances are vital to protecting the surrounding ecosystems and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

Offices

Offices typically generate chemical waste from printer cartridges, ink, and toner. However, as more businesses strive to go paperless, the volume of this waste is gradually decreasing. Nonetheless, proper disposal of remaining chemical waste remains important.
