Waste Management

Waste Management

Generally waste is any material or substance that is of no further use and has been discarded. If not properly managed, waste can have adverse impacts and pollute the environment. Disposing of waste which could be reused or recycled is a waste of resources, a lost opportunity and a waste of money.

 There are many different types of waste such as household waste, electronic waste and commercial waste. Wastes generated from commercial or industrial sources that are highly odorous or potentially hazardous require a higher level of control.
 
EPHC and NEPC have devoted considerable resources to waste management issues, particularly with respect to product stewardship.
 
The NEPC has made the Movement of Controlled Waste between States and Territories NEPM. This NEPM ensures that controlled wastes which are moved between States and Territories are properly identified, transported, and handled in ways that are consistent with environmentally sound practices.
 

The EPHC has developed a national approach to the reuse and recycling of industrial wastes, focusing primarily on their application to land.
