  1. e-Manifest and Other Resources for HW Handlers

  2. The recently proposed transformational initiative, eManifest proposed by Environmental Protection Agency is designed to establish an innovative system to track hazardous waste shipments electronically. The popularly known eManifest system modernizes the process of hazardous waste tracking. It not only saves valuable time and government resources but also reduces the burden associated with paper manifests. It simply offers amazing benefits including:

  3. Cost Savings • Provides accurate information, tracking and analyzing the amount of waste • Keeping track of records on waste shipments • Notifies at the earliest about any discrepancies or other issues in any of the shipments • Ensures compliance monitoring of waste shipments TIMMERMAN INDUSTRIES

  4. In India, state governments like Tamil Nadu and other local authorities are developing strategies to implement the same eManifest system to track hazardous waste shipments. The leading environmentalist Ritik Kumar Sinha explores how the state authorities can make this possible by finding some other alternatives to track waste shipments. According to him, the nation needs to modify the traditional methods because the modification is vital for the current hazardous waste manifest system to increase the effectiveness of compliance monitoring of waste shipments by HW handlers. Ritik Kumar Sinha further states that technological advancement in this area will further make jobs easier for HW handlers and it will also boost the visibility of manifest data. By implementing similar resources to our current manifest system, we can effectively minimize environmental impact. TIMMERMAN INDUSTRIES

  5. Major Challenges in India To effectively implement the principles of sustainable development, the government of India is focusing on regulating strict guidelines to state authorities and municipalities to remain environmentally accountable. Expressing his concern about this, Ritik Sinha says that it is a great irony in our country that there are separate rules and separate compliances and all the states don’t bother to come together to deal with any challenge.
