How to store and dispose of hazardous waste properly？

With the development of the economy, the hazardous wastes discharged from the production process are increasing day by day. It is estimated that the annual production of hazardous waste in the world is 330 million tons. Currently, there are about 5,700 kinds of hazardous wastes that can be produced in China, accounting for about 12.7% of the total production. About 30-40 million tons of hazardous chemical solid wastes are produced every year. In terms of quantity and total amount, an extremely large amount of hazardous chemicals is discarded in China every year. Different wastes need to be strictly classified before they can be processed. In order to strengthen the supervision and management of hazardous waste transfer activities and prevent environmental pollution, the management measures for hazardous waste transfer will be implemented from January 1, 2022.
