Chemical waste laboratory
Collection of chemical waste from a laboratory is subject to strict rules, regulations and guidelines. Laboratories deal with a wide variety of hazardous liquid and solid chemical waste, biological waste, radioactive waste, but also, for example, glass waste and contaminated personal protective equipment.
All these waste materials need to be disposed of properly and safely to protect human, animal and environmental health. We supply all types of packaging for laboratory waste and pick them up periodically or on demand at your location. You can read more about the possibilities on this page.
Waste streams laboratory
Different waste streams can be distinguished from laboratories. They are classified into a number of categories and have their own waste code. Based on the category or code, regulations have been drawn up on the storage, collection, disposal and processing of the relevant substance. These include labelling, packing lists and waste guides. To avoid dangerous reactions, waste types should be disposed of separately. Below are some examples of waste types from a lab:
- Organic and inorganic acids
- Organic and inorganic bases
- Chlorinated and non-chlorinated solvents
- Particularly toxic liquids
- Contaminated laboratory glassware and instruments
- Contaminated personal protective equipment
- Small chemical (laboratory) waste
Biological waste laboratory
Biological laboratory waste refers to waste that has been in contact with micro-organisms, making it biologically contaminated. Laboratory biological waste may contain pathogenic microorganisms, human pathogens, phytopathogens or zoopathogens. The storage and disposal of this type of waste is subject to strict procedures. Approved and certified laboratory waste drums should be used. Strict rules also apply to the labelling and labelling of packaging materials.
