What is Waste Management?
Waste management compliance requires documentation of waste classification, storage, and disposal. This module manages waste streams from generation through to final disposal, ensuring duty of care obligations are met and transfer notes are properly completed.
Waste classification tools identify whether waste is hazardous, requiring special handling and disposal. Consignment notes track hazardous waste movement, providing the audit trail required by the Environment Agency.
Contractor management ensures waste carriers are licensed and waste is disposed at authorised facilities. Cost tracking identifies opportunities for waste reduction and recycling initiatives, whilst compliance reporting provides evidence for environmental permits and audits.
