Waste Determination • Notable States : • CA, CT, FL, IL, IN, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, NH, NJ, NY, OR, RI, SC, TX, UT, VT, WA * 2007 Environmental Resource Center Report: Top 10 Hazardous Waste Violations • Most common hazardous waste violation: • Failure to determine which wastes are hazardous* • 40 CFR Section 262.11 – Hazardous Waste Determination: A person who generates a solid waste, must determine if that waste is hazardous • 40CFR Part 271 – State Authorization: State programs have the option to be more stringent than the Federal Standards
Challenges - Retail Product Life Cycle • Multitude of Suppliers • Obtaining Hazard Data • On-Boarding Process • Disposition Options • Regulatory Scrutiny or • Multitude of Locations • Implementing Policy • Consumer Interaction • Brand Image • Supplier Accountability • On-boarding Visibility • Speed to Market
State of Preparedness • Proactive organizations • Implemented systems to collect compliance data • Ways to identify gaps and/or deficiencies in data quality • Methods to evaluate and analyze data for gaps and trends • Some integration with other systems
Mitigating Risk Implementing a Comprehensive Program Identification Documentation and reporting requirements assessment Disposition Guidance Training Program Review
Identification • Build your chemical and hazardous waste inventory • Cleaners, Detergents, Pesticides • Cosmetics • Pharmaceuticals • Batteries, battery operated devices, and bulbs • E-waste (TVs, computers, consumer electronics) • E-cigarettes, Alcohol over 48 proof • Process waste (parts washing, paint tint, photo)
Identification • Hazard Determination • Generator knowledge alone not typically sufficient • SDS a recognized viable reference by state agencies • Hazardous Constituents and percentages • Hazardous characteristics • Toxicity • Health hazards/warnings • Testing
Identification Supplemental supplier data sometimes needed • Proprietary, Trade Secret, Missing Data • Conflicting data on SDS • “Full disclosure” can confuse what’s needed for compliance and delay classification Ingredients Water , Sodium Laureth Sulfate , Sodium Lauryl Sulfate , CocamidopropylBetaine , Cocamide MEA , Hydrolyzed Silk , OleaEuropaea (Olive) Fruit OilOlive , Amodimethicone , Benzyl Alcohol , Polyquaternium 10 , Cetrimonium Chloride , Trideceth 12 , Disodium EDTA , Maleic Acid , Sodium Chloride , Glycine , PPG 9 , Methylchloroisothiazolinone , Methylisothiazolinone , Fragrance , Ext D&C Violet 2 (CI 60730)
Program Development What are the labeling requirements for your containers? What is your generator status? What documentation is required? Who will sign if needed? What are the reporting requirements in each state? Who will file reports if needed?
Disposition • Container/Drum/Bucket identification and segregation quickly becoming industry standard • Distinguish flammable, toxic, corrosive (acid/base), state managed waste • Other disposition streams: • Vendor buyback/return • Secondary Markets/Donation • Recycling
Training & Communication • Coded waste determination available via the scan gun system • New industry standard • Quick/efficient way to communicate with employees • Posters on-site support the program • Assigned responsibilities (are items staged? Who can sign?) • What if item doesn’t have designation?
Technology Trends Advancement in technologies driving change Integrated with ERP systems Utilization of technologies to move data Information accessibility & mobile devices
Program Scope Comprehensive Single Program Leveraged to Address: Damaged Product Vendor Buybacks Customer Returns Expired Product Regional or nationwide recalls Unknown/dumped waste
Program Review • Gaps • Reconciliation • Employee Support • Phase 2 Waste – no codes, but not acceptable as trash • Opportunities • Markdowns of hazmat • Expand other disposition options to control costs • “Green” product selection
Program Review • Annual Review • Programs costs (disposal costs, training) • Total waste generated • Hit ratio of classified vs non-classified • Support solutions – cost effective? Filling all gaps? • Waste Reduction • Are all potential waste sources addressed? • Is solution meeting all organizational needs?
