Introduction:

Industrial Waste

Industrial waste is defined as waste

generated by manufacturing or industrial processes.
Or
Industrial waste is an all-encompassing term
used to describe material considered to be no longer
of use after a manufacturing process has been
completed.

There are many sectors of industrial

manufacturing that produce waste, including:

• Various types of factories

• Mining
• Textile mills
• Food manufacturing
• Consumer goods
• Industrial chemicals
• Printing and publishing

Types of Industrial Waste

Industrial waste can be hazardous or non-
hazardous. Both, however, can cause substantial
damage to the environment if not properly managed.
Below are some common types of industrial waste that
can be hazardous to human life and the environment.
01
Solid Waste
Each year, American industries generate and
dispose of about 7.6 billion tons of industrial solid waste.
According to the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act, solid waste can be generated by
manufacturing processes such as:

• The use of inorganic chemicals.

• Iron and steel manufacturing.
• Water treatment.
• Plastics and resins manufacturing.

Chemical Waste
Chemical waste mostly contains harmful
chemicals. This does not mean, however, that it is
classified as hazardous.
For it to be considered hazardous, it must have an
ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity or toxicity characteristic,
according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Secondary Waste
The EPA’s Sustainable Materials Management
effort also has placed an emphasis on reusing secondary
materials that are considered to be non-hazardous, such
as scraps and residuals that result from the production
process.
Examples of secondary types of waste include:
•Coal combustion
•Spent foundry sand
•Construction materials when infrastructure is
demolished. 02
Toxic Waste
Industrial waste can also be toxic or hazardous
waste. If not managed properly, this type of industrial
waste can cause harm to humans, animals and the
environment by contaminating waterways, such as rivers
and lakes, Polluting air, etc .
This type of industrial waste is generally a by
product of other materials generated at factories,
hospitals and manufacturing facilities.
It’s important to note that waste laws can vary
from state to state. For example, in many states, asbestos
is not considered a hazardous waste. However, in
California, it is. If the waste weighs more than 50 pounds
(22.68 kgs.) in total, transportation by a
certified hazardous waste disposal company is
required.
If your company’s manufacturing process
produces and transports less than 50 pounds (22.68 kgs.)
of asbestos to a disposal facility, you are not required to
follow the same procedures as you would if you
accumulated more than 50 pounds (22.68 kgs.). These
include manifest requirements.

How To Dispose Of Industrial
Waste:

Improperly handling industrial waste can have

harmful consequences to both your company and the
community. If not properly disposed of, harmful waste
can be released into the air, soil and water.
This carelessness can also pose a threat to your
company’s reputation and bottom line, and expose you
to costly fines and publicity that your company may
struggle to recover from for years to come.
Southern California is home to several facilities
where you can drop off your industrial waste. Before you
go, however, it’s important to check what materials the
facility accepts, since not every facility accepts every type
of industrial waste. Very few accept hazardous waste,
while others only accept certain kinds of solid waste.
Hazardous waste disposal companies offer a safer
and more convenient option, and they can help with the
process of disposing of industrial waste.
Regulations for industrial waste vary. For
example, hazardous industrial waste dictates a “cradle to
grave” regulation. This means if you generator hazardous
waste, you are legally and financially responsible for it
from the time it is created to the time it is disposed of,
whether it is on your property or not.
This is why many industrial waste generators work
with a reputable disposal company to help them manage
this process and alleviate any issues that may arise from
the transportation and disposal of their waste - especially
once it leaves your facility. 04
 If your company produces industrial
wastewater, several counties including Los Angeles
County require that you obtain an industrial waste
disposal permit.
You can read more about the importance of
knowing what to look for in a waste disposal company
in our article, How Industrial Waste Disposal Is
Managed.

METHODS OF INDUSTRIAL
WASTE MANAGEMENT:
If you own a company that generates
hazardous or industrial waste, it’s crucial that you think
about the safest methods of waste management in
Atlanta . The most effective methods of industrial
waste management are ones that aim to reduce,
reuse, and recycle when possible, and that are
guaranteed to cause no harm to the environment.
Here is a look at the best methods of industrial waste
management in your area.

06
Segregation and Recycling
Much of the waste that is generated by your
company’s production, shipping, and packaging needs
is not reusable or compostable, but it is recyclable. The
first step in your industrial waste management program
is to identify which items can be recycled, and set up
recycling bins or dumpsters into which they can be
sorted. Most recycling centers can handle glass, paper,
and plastic recycling. Many can also handle scrap metal
recycling, cardboard recycling, food waste recycling,
and electronics recycling. You must segregate and
separate your recycling from your hazardous waste,
compostable waste, and non-hazardous solid waste.

Use of Landfills
Landfills are one of the most common ways to
dispose of waste in America. The only waste that should
be sent to landfills is that which is non-hazardous, non-
recyclable, and non-compostable. When waste is sent to
a landfill, it is confined to a small area, compacted when
necessary, and then buried in the earth. As the waste
decomposes, it releases gases that can be converted to
natural gases used for power and fuel. Landfills are cost-
efficient and are designed to minimize the harm done
to the environment.

07
Composting
The composting process turns organic waste
into fertilizer that can be used to nourish plants. Most
food waste can be composted, and even unsafe
organic items can be turned into safe composting. You
can compost food waste, leaves, newspaper, very
small pieces of cardboard, straw, and sawdust.
Compost is then added to soil to provide nutrients
and encourage growth. Composting is one of the most
effective ways to reuse and recycle waste.

08
Conclusion:
Industrial waste is defined as unwanted or
residual materials that result from industrial operations.
There are several types of industrial waste, and while
some is considered non-hazardous, some types are
classified as hazardous.
No matter, all types of industrial waste have the
potential to be harmful if improperly managed.
That’s why if you generate industrial waste, it is
imperative that you understand your responsibility when
it comes to management and disposal. A certified waste
disposal company can assist you with declassifying your
industrial waste through proper sampling so you can
ensure you follow proper procedures for handling the
waste.
