How to Dispose of Lab Pack Waste
It’s crucial to dispose of lab pack waste responsibly and compliantly to protect ourselves and our environment.
Identify and classify your waste : Clearly label each lab pack with the chemical name and composition, hazard symbols and risk phrases, quantity and concentration and the date of packaging.
Store lab packs safely : Store lab packs in a designated and secure storage area, ensuring incompatible lab waste materials are segregated to prevent accidental reactions. Ensure adequate ventilation and fire safety measures are in place.
Choose a registered waste carrier : Select a reputable waste carrier licensed to handle lab pack waste. Verify their registration with the Environment Agency and confirm their compliance with relevant disposal regulations.
Complete waste transfer documentation : Accurately fill out the hazardous waste consignment note and provide it to the waste carrier – it must accompany the waste until disposal or recycling.
Be prepared for emergencies : Develop a comprehensive emergency response plan for potential spills or accidents involving lab pack waste, and train staff on emergency procedures.
Seek expert advice : Consult with a hazardous waste specialist for guidance on complex waste disposal scenarios and clarify any doubts about waste classification, packaging, or disposal methods.
