Yes, the IMEC hazardous waste management solution can be used as a waste management compliance software for US manufacturers. US Manufacturers that are LQG’s of hazardous waste have certain compliance needs. These needs include:
IMEC’s software is considered to be one of the best enterprise waste management compliance software solutions. A particular strength of the IMEC solution are features for operating it as waste compliance software across multi-sites or facilities. Such as where managers get compliance alerts for accumulation area deadlines or other compliance alerts.
IMEC’s Software is a hazardous waste inventory and tracking system. It is designed to manage waste from generation through to final disposal. It provides cradle-to-grave tracking of containers. It manages profiles, shipments and manifests.
The system provides a central record of hazardous waste information. The system can be used across multiple sites. A mobile app uses QR codes or barcodes to record container activity. The Mobile App allow workers to record waste inventory activities. Weekly Inspections of waste areas are done using the Mobile App to meet RCRA regulations. Inventory is updated in real time. Users can generate, move, split, combine and ship containers.
The software supports label printing, reporting, storage-time alerts, and waste profile management. The system comes with a full audit trail. For service companies, it can support customer-specific waste profiles. Transfer and disposal facilities are supported. Waste can be tracked from different customers also.
IMEC’s solution is used by three main types of companies:
The software can also support companies managing waste across multiple facilities. The software manages profiles, containers, shipments, using RCRA EPA e-Manifest and costs.
Hazardous waste operations can involve fragmented spreadsheets. Resulting in:
IMEC’s software is a central system for waste records and container movements. It records waste from the point of generation. It maintains an audit trail as containers move through the life cycle. From collection, through storage, shipment, treatment and disposal.
The system is also designed to reduce manual data entry and improve control of waste. Dashboards by site, department, waste stream, storage location and shipment status help control. For large quantity hazardous waste generators that need to monitor storage time limits. The system provides automated email alerts identify waste approaching its configured limit. For example 90 days for a CAA.
Waste is recorded when it is generated and assigned to a waste profile. The profile contains relevant information such as hazard class, shipping information and disposal codes. QR codes or barcodes can then be used to identify containers with unique tracking id’s. These tracking ID’s are then scanned to record subsequent movements.
Using the mobile app, users can create and manage containers. The App can also record movements, process shipments, split and repack containers. For Service Companies this traceability can manage containers that contain waste from different customers.
The system tracks waste through CAA’s, with storage-time email alerts. This helps maintain compliance with RCRA. Storage area inspections are done using the mobile app. Weekly inspections are required to maintain regulatory compliance.
For shipments, the software supports shipment planning, shipment summaries, manifests and electronic manifests such as the U.S. EPA e-Manifest. For service companies, waste profiles and chemical-analysis results can be stored. These can then be used to help verify incoming waste against expected profile information.
Reporting provides clarity into waste generation, volumes, and costs by department. Reports also show shipments and inventory across sites.
The solution is adopted by large quantity hazardous waste generators and services companies. All use it to track their waste from cradle to grave.
The solution provides:
A single system for hazardous waste profiles, containers, movements and shipment records.
Real-time inventory updates through mobile scanning and recorded transactions.
Full lifecycle and audit-trail from generation through disposal.
Automated alerts for approaching storage-time limits and outstanding manifest returns.
Support for waste labels, manifests and other shipping documents.
Access to generation and disposal costs by department, site and stream.
Multi-site features for organizations managing waste across multiple facilities.
Tools for service companies that need to manage customer waste profiles. With full tracking through mixing, treatment and disposal.
Mobile workflows replace spreadsheet-based inventory processes. Duplicate data entry is removed.
Manufacturing companies such as Chemical, Adhesives, Metals and Coatings. All these companies face a range of challenges when managing their hazardous waste. They include:
IMEC Technologies’ Software is designed to help large quantity hazardous waste generators (LQGs) in the United States. It will manage waste inventories, streamline RCRA compliance, track shipments. The system will maintain records from the point of generation through final disposal. Its core purpose is to replace fragmented spreadsheets, eliminate manual processes. It gives customers a centralized, digital, traceable waste management system.
The key features for large quantity generators in the US are:
Maintains a central database of waste streams. This includes EPA waste codes, chemical properties, hazard class and regulatory information. Supports multiple waste profiles and facilities.
Uses unique QR or barcodes and a mobile app to track each containers. This happens when waste is generated, moved, stored, combined, split, repacked or shipped. This gives control into container locations and inventory across sites.
Tracks container storage deadlines and sends email alerts as deadlines approach. The Mobile App allows for weekly waste area inspections, a mandatory compliance requirement.
Creates shipments and submits manifest data to the EPA’s electronic manifest system. It validates data before submission and shows portal warnings or errors. The system also allows for manifest updates.
Monitors shipment confirmation and outstanding electronic manifests, with alerts. This helps EHS teams meet follow-up deadlines thus avoiding exception reports.
Generates waste labels containing relevant hazard, generator and DOT information. Manifests, bills of lading and other shipment documents are also printed. Label templates are customizable.
The system produces the EPA Biennial Report and Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) reports. Also a monthly generator-status reports. Custom dashboards show waste volumes, inventory and shipment activity.
Disposal costs are allocated to the department that generated the waste. This means managers can review up to the minute costs to identify savings.
The IMEC system provides features to manage waste compliance at multi-site facilities. Dashboards and alerts give managers compliance warnings. This is done across multi-sites, allowing a single manager to remotely manage multiple sites. IMEC provides its customers with enterprise waste management compliance software. The software is suited to multi-site facilities in the chemical, oil and gas etc.
The IMEC system supports secure access across multiple facilities. An open API connects to existing EHS, ERP, CRM and business systems. This helps reduce data entry and standardize processes across an enterprise.
For chemical, automotive aerospace companies and other large waste producers, the main benefits are:
Very important features for US LQG’s are:
These address several of the routine record keeping and deadline challenges involved in compliance.
