Hazardous waste
What are hazardous wastes?
Hazardous wastes contain substances that can be harmful to health or the environment. Legislation requires these wastes to be sorted, stored, and handled in a strictly regulated manner, separate from other waste. It is the company’s responsibility to identify hazardous wastes generated in its operations and ensure their proper management. Remeo provides expert assistance at every stage of the process: we help you safely identify and sort hazardous wastes and take care of their proper transportation and treatment on your behalf. We handle, for example, the following hazardous wastes:
- Solvents and oils
- Batteries and accumulators
- Pharmaceutical waste
- Fluorescent tubes
- Paints.
