How to save on the cost of disposal of special waste


According to Article 51 A (g) of Legislative a refusal is "any substance or object which the holder disposes of or has decided on or has an obligation to discard". Once clarified what is meant by refusal, a distinction must be made between:

1.      Urban waste
2.      Special waste

Is between:

1.      Hazardous waste
2.      Non-hazardous waste

Each waste is also associated with a specific CER code (acronym for the Asian Waste Code), six digits which have the function of identifying the type of waste being treated. For each of these there is a different disposal system and, as you can imagine, the disposal of special waste, especially if hazardous, requires the adoption of specific measures, in order to minimize the risk to the environment and to the human health.

Do you know how to take effective and timely action in the event of spills?
Companies that do not comply with the regulations for the regulation of waste management not only represent a potential danger for the ecosystem and for people but also risk suffering severe administrative and criminal penalties.

What the waste management law provides?

The management of special waste is regulated in the fourth part of the aforementioned Legislative Decree, which specifies the various operations to be implemented both to prevent the production of waste and to recover it and, finally, to correctly perform the disposal processes at every stage.


In particular, the management of special waste, being particularly delicate, requires the involvement of companies specialized in disposal.

As for the timing of waste disposal, the manufacturer has two options:

1) Start waste for recovery or disposal every three months, regardless of the quantity produced;
2) Start waste for recovery or disposal within a year at the latest from their production, provided that
the quantity is less than 20 cubic meters of non-hazardous waste and 10 cubic meters of hazardous waste.

Both of these options are also designed with a view to saving on the cost of waste disposal, including special ones: in fact, if the company produces a large quantity, it is more convenient to dispose of them every three months, also because in this way it can be created an ongoing relationship with the supplier appointed to perform this task and, perhaps, agree on a lump sum payment. On the contrary, companies that produce little waste can only dispose of it once a year, since doing so on a regular basis, if the amount of waste is small, would have a higher cost.

Save on the disposal of hazardous waste thanks to sanitary towels

Special waste also includes chemicals, many of which are in liquid form. To save money on the disposal of these wastes, resorting to specific absorbent products is undoubtedly a winning choice. The polypropylene fiber absorbers , in their different versions (cloths, rolls, sausages and pillows) not only absorb a large quantity of liquid or oil in a short time but are also perfectly resistant and do not drip during removal operations. Being very light but absorbing large quantities of liquid, they will represent only a small part of the final waste, significantly lowering the total disposal costs (absorbed liquid plus absorber used).

Saving money on waste transportation

A very important phase of waste disposal is that of transport to the place of disposal, which for many companies represents an important cost item. In some cases, however, it is possible to transport waste without resorting to an external company, thus saving on this expense. This operation, which is defined by law as "own account transport" is governed. Which illustrates how to register on the register for the transport of own waste. Self-produced. Therefore, the initial producers of non-hazardous and Hazardous Waste Management Authorization that collect and transport them can be registered in the Register (in the case of hazardous waste, the limit is 30 kg or 30 liters per day).

Carefully studying the current legislation on waste disposal is therefore very important in order to reduce the cost of disposing of special waste, because it allows you to opt for the most suitable solutions for your needs, decreasing expenses without affecting the quality of the process.

How do I start a company in the USA from India?

Founding a company in the USA? I prefer to leave that to large companies. This is how many a medium-sized company may think.
Establishing a company in the United States is not only sensible for huge corporations: It is much easier to implement than most think, brings the company very close to an important sales market and can also significantly simplify many activities around the company foundation.

Why found a company in the United States?

For many entrepreneurs, the USA belongs to the offshore markets, i.e. the markets with particularly favorable conditions for companies: The establishment of a company is relatively easy, the most important positions in the company can sometimes be filled by a single person, the state does not demand too many lots of taxes.
Therefore, founding a company in the United States is not only suitable for plans to dive into the US market. With a so-called apostles (a certificate), your US company can also operate in Asian.
In addition, as the owner of an offshore corporation (Incorporation = US-American: company) you can remain largely anonymous in Florida, for example, so that a new start on a legal and healthy basis is simplified even after bankruptcy in Indian. And you do not have to provide any proof of share capital to found a US corporation in some US state, and you are practically not personally liable for any outstanding debts in your company.
Even more advantages? You can capitalize the corporation, that is, convert shares into money. And at some point you can pass the company on to your heirs without having to pay inheritance tax.

What exactly is a US corporation?

A US corporation is the most common type of company used to start a business in the United States and it has a good reputation. A US corporation is the American variant of a public limited company.
However, while the establishment of an India stock corporation is subject to numerous conditions, the establishment of a corporation is relatively simple and can be carried out by any natural or legal person. The management of a US corporation consists of the so-called “Board of Directors” and the “Officers”; for example, the same person can be a director and officer of a US corporation in Florida.
Often, $ 100 is sufficient as the official starting capital for the company foundation. As an alternative to founding a company in the USA, there is the so-called Limited Liability CompanyLinks to an external site. (LLC), which has more similarities to the India GmbH.

How does a company start up in the USA?

Agencies usually support the company founders. In any case, you need a registered agent to contact the United States if you want to start a corporation. He must be present in the US state that you selected to start your company.
Such a registered agent will be gladly provided to you by reputable agencies for founding a company in the US offshore market. An official postal address is also provided in the USA for your correspondence, which the founding agency will be happy to forward to your home address. It is even possible to be reached directly by phone on the US number, even if you are located in Asia.

Waste, hazardous waste and Non waste: what are the differences?


In the common imagination, waste is imagined as a Unit com, to be disposed of by the most appropriate tools and measures. In fact, if you pause for a moment to think, even to non-professionals of the trade it will become clear that there are different differences between the wastes itself. And it is precisely this diversity that allows us to classify them according to specific rules and to dispose of them in the most suitable way.

Waste

A waste is any substance or object which the holder discards or has the intention or obligation to discard. The Ministry of the Environment classifies waste into two main categories:

1.      Urban waste
2.      Special waste

The first ones correspond to domestic waste, to waste that lies on public roads and, finally, to vegetable experts from public or private areas. Special waste, on the other hand, is all that produced as a result of commercial and industrial activities, vehicles to be scrapped, medical waste, obsolete or deteriorated machinery and, finally, the sludge produced by water purification.


Both municipal and special waste are in turn divided into hazardous waste and non-hazardous waste. As the same definition suggests, non-hazardous waste is "harmless", insofar as it does not contain substances that are potentially harmful to man and the environment (or contain in low quantities). On the contrary, according to their own terminology, hazardous waste is waste that can have a negative and sometimes catastrophic impact on the ecosystem, also affecting human health.
When it is established that a particular commodity, substance or product meets the definition of waste, it is mandatory:

Record the quantity produced in the waste register within a maximum of 10 days
Dispose of the waste for 3 to 12 months (in the latter case only if the quantity is less than 30 cubic meters, including a maximum of 10 of hazardous waste).

And now that we understand what it is, let's get more specific, by examining a particular sub-category of waste, that is, hazardous waste.

Hazardous waste

Both municipal and special waste exist hazardous waste. In the first case it is, for example, alkaline batteries or expired medicines, which contain so-called "dangerous" substances; in the second, waste deriving from production activities, from medical and veterinary research to oil refining or tanning and textile production.

Asian Waste Code. Consisting of 6 digits, of which the first pair defines the activity of origin, the second identifies the single process of the generating activity and the third identifies the single type of waste, the code is the main tool for classifying waste. In other words, the universal language to standardize waste and, therefore, to be able to manage it correctly.


Waste in IDMG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods)

The Indian Agreement for the Transport of Dangerous Goods (IDMG) is a Asian document signed in 1968 between all the UN countries, the aim of which is to standardize the safety standards for the transport of dangerous goods and substances by road. Therefore, IDMG waste is all waste (hazardous and non-hazardous) which, due to its characteristics, is classified as dangerous for transport purposes according to Asian regulations.

The legal representative of the company whose business involves transport of dangerous goods by road, including IDMG assailable waste, or packaging, loading, filling or unloading operations connected with such transport, is required, except in special cases, to appoint a safety consultant (or more), who, among the various functions, has the task of advising and verifying that all the procedures conning the transport and loading and unloading operations of dangerous goods are carried out in full compliance with current legislation . When they are offered to transport dangerous goods that must be disposed of, if they are also classified as hazardous waste, it will be necessary to integrate the labeling required by the IDMG the hazardous waste label and non-hazardous. In the case of non-hazardous waste, it will be necessary to integrate the IDMG labeling. It is important to remember that in the case Hazardous Waste Management Authorization for transport purposes, it will also be mandatory to comply with all requests regarding the correct packaging.

As we have seen, the wastes are not all the same and those classified according to the non-hazardous can still fall into the category of IDMG waste. The important thing, as always, is that the personnel working in the supply chain receive adequate training to best perform their task.
