## The importance of hazardous waste treatment

Veolia invests in the appropriate treatment of hazardous waste to prevent harmful effects on the environment. The incorrect treatment of hazardous waste materials can impact human health, our water, soil and air catastrophically. Our range of specialised treatments determine safe waste treatment to result in a clean environment, overall improved health standards and fewer hazards and risks.

Our solutions prevent air, water and soil pollution, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by offering treatments that cover the broadest range of requirements: [High-temperature incineration](/hazardous-waste-services/hazardous-waste-management/high-temperature-incineration "High Temperature Incineration"), [Blending of Secondary Liquid Fuels](/hazardous-waste-services/hazardous-waste-management/secondary-liquid-fuel "Secondary Liquid Fuel"), and [Physico Chemical Treatment](/hazardous-waste-services/hazardous-waste-management/physico-chemical-treatment "Physico Chemical Treatment").

## What is hazardous waste treatment?

Hazardous waste treatment in the UK refers to the processes and methods used to safely and responsibly manage and dispose of hazardous waste materials. Hazardous waste is any waste that poses a threat to human health or the environment due to its chemical, physical, or biological properties.

In the UK, hazardous waste treatment is regulated by various laws and regulations, including the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005. These regulations aim to ensure that hazardous waste is handled, treated, and disposed of in a manner that minimises the risks involved.

The unique waste treatment facilities, procedures and sheer knowledge we offer makes us a leading provider of hazardous waste treatment in the UK. We offer a range of specialised treatments that are designed to address the unique challenges associated with hazardous waste.
