Industrial Waste
What's Industrial Waste?
Industrial Waste is waste generated by manufacturing, industrial, and production processes, often including materials like chemicals, metals, plastics, and scrap from construction or mining activities. This type of waste can be hazardous or non-hazardous, depending on its properties and potential environmental or health risks.
Industrial waste often requires specialized handling, treatment, and disposal due to its volume and potential toxicity. Common disposal methods include landfilling, incineration, or recycling when possible. Effective management of industrial waste is essential to prevent contamination of soil, water, and air and to minimize its ecological footprint. Regulatory frameworks often govern industrial waste handling to ensure environmental safety and compliance.
