For example, they may be liquid or solid waste types, low-risk and high-risk solvents, small and large quantities. To shape your waste management in a controlled way, mapping the different waste types (categories) is the starting point. By working with clear and detailed lists and protocols, a clear and traceable collection plan can be maintained.<\/p><h2>View regulations and lab waste category<\/h2><p>The second step is to check the regulations of each lab waste category. Below is a list of all categories:<\/p><ul><li>Category 1: Acids<\/li><li>Category 2: Alkalis, Bases<\/li><li>Category 3: Low-halogen organic liquids<\/li><li>Category 4: Halogen-rich organic liquids<\/li><li>Category 5: Solids<\/li><li>Category 6: Substances presenting exceptional risks<\/li><\/ul><p>Always check the <a href=\"https:\/\/chemischafvalnederland.nl\/en\/rules-and-regulations-for-laboratory-waste\/\" title=\"laboratory waste rules and regulations\">laboratory waste rules and regulations<\/a> carefully to understand the safe disposal of each individual category. Of course, you can always contact us without obligation if you have any questions.<\/p><h2>Use the right waste drums and labels<\/h2><p>The third step is to deploy the right waste drums for each chemical waste stream\/category. They should be approved drums, drums, waste bins or containers. In addition, they should obviously be leak-proof and in good working condition at all times. The use of labels and tags is also mandatory. Every lab waste drum must have proper labelling, which is clearly legible, so that no unclear or dangerous situation can ever arise during collection and processing. You can choose from various types of packaging (including labelling) especially for laboratories.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21024abc sc-cta-balk e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"21024abc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5991c85b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5991c85b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">More information on responsible laboratory waste disposal?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3268cc0c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3268cc0c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Do you have questions about the responsible and safe disposal of your laboratory waste?
