Frequently asked questions about manufacturing and production waste management

What are common types of waste in manufacturing?

Manufacturing can produce a wide range of different wastes. The most common can include solid waste (scrap metal, plastics, packaging), liquid waste (chemicals, wastewater) and hazardous waste (solvents, heavy metals, industrial sludge).

How can manufacturers handle hazardous waste safely?

Hazardous waste should be properly labeled, stored, and disposed of according to environmental regulations. Using specialised waste management services – like Recycling Lives – implementing spill prevention measures, and training employees on safe handling practices are crucial steps.
