Are you struggling to dispose of lab waste?
Universities are at the forefront of research and innovation, and with that they generate a wide range of waste streams, including complex lab waste. Government regulations state that lab waste must be disposed of securely to help protect the environment and public health from possible contamination. Any organisation not compliant with these regulations will be hit with costly fines. Veolia’s specialist lab waste disposal service takes the hassle out of lab waste disposal helping universities navigate complex regulations, minimise environmental and health risks, and optimise lab waste management.
How Veolia's Lab Waste Service Can Help?
Veolia’s specialist lab waste disposal solution - known as Chempac - provides the perfect solution for the identification, removal, and treatment of challenging laboratory waste. This tailored service provides the safe disposal of the following lab waste items: laboratory smalls, solvents, and alkali and acidic liquids.
Our team of qualified chemists will sample and catalogue your lab waste to ensure you comply with waste identification legislation. Once this is complete, we will establish what wastes can be recovered or recycled. Any waste that cannot be recycled will go to our in-house High Temperature Incinerator, which offers secure and compliant disposal.
The process segregates each item based on potential hazards, physical and chemical properties. The materials are then packed prior to removal. The whole process and removal of the lab waste ensures the waste is classified and segregated in line with UK legislation and regulatory guidelines that govern the management, disposal and movement of hazardous waste.
