For waste generators, knowing which department generated waste is a key metric and allows for the management of costs. For corporate users waste costs are a key metric and having the ability to see waste costs across multiple sites helps manage and reduce those costs.
Uses Cases for Hazardous Waste Management Software
The users of hazardous waste management software can be broken into three separate types of organizations.
- Hazardous Waste generators, such as chemical companies, aviation and aerospace, automotive, mining and oil and gas facilities.
- Transporters, these companies collect waste from generators and transport it to a treatment, storage and disposal facility.
- Environmental Service companies, these companies that manage a treatment storage and disposal facility. (TSDF’s).
IMEC’s hazardous waste management software provides a waste management software solution for all three types of organizations.
Waste Transporters
Waste Transporters use this hazardous waste software to manage waste profiles, print compliance documentation, waste labels and manifests. The software allows transporters to create jobs for collection, print the required documentation an waste labels. Jobs are tracked from through pickup, through transport and final disposal. Reports and Dashboards provide customer service information for each customer and disposal.
Environmental Service Companies
Environmental Service Companies must properly manage hazardous waste inventory, tracking waste from cradle to grave. The tracking of splits and combinations is key as environmental service companies consolidate waste from multiple customers before treatment, final disposal. Tracking waste onsite ensures no breaches compliance rules occur. RCRA compliance such as time on site or volumes onsite are also tracked providing a waste manager with a comprehensive management tool for hazardous waste within a transfer and disposal facility. The software provides Environmental Service companies with a waste management software solution to track hazardous waste from cradle to grave.
