Waste Management
Waste management (or waste disposal) includes the processes and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. This includes the collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste, together with monitoring and regulation of the waste management process and waste-related laws, technologies, economic mechanisms. Waste can be solid, liquid, or gaseous and each type has different methods of disposal and management. Waste management deals with all types of waste, including industrial, biological, household, municipal, organic, biomedical, radioactive wastes. In some cases, waste can pose a threat to human health. Health issues are associated throughout the entire process of waste management. Health issues can also arise indirectly or directly. Directly, through the handling of solid waste, and indirectly through the consumption of water, soil and food. Waste is produced by human activity, for example, the extraction and processing of raw materials. Waste management is intended to reduce adverse effects of waste on human health, the environment, planetary resources and aesthetics. Waste management practices are not uniform among countries (developed and developing nations); regions (urban and rural areas), and residential and industrial sectors can all take different approaches.
Industrial Waste Management Services
As experts in environmental waste management, Waste Management’s Sustainability Services personnel undergo annual industry and regulatory training so they can anticipate changes that will impact you and your business. We understand the chemicals, materials, and products you use and are proficient in DOT, State and EPA regulations. Many of our personnel hold degrees in science and engineering. As Earth’s natural resources grow scarcer, process residuals become far too valuable simply to discard. Across the country, companies like yours are relying on Waste Management’s industrial waste management services team to help them:
- Reduce process residuals
- Minimize risk
- Cut costs
- Streamline operations
- Achieve environmental compliance

By making Waste Management part of your environmental team, you can realize enormous benefits. We can work side by side with you, assisting with creative solutions that deliver real savings to your bottom line. We can collaborate with you in several ways:
- If you need us on site, we can be there to offer expert advice and help you identify and implement sustainable business practices.
- We can help you divert material from landfills, or perhaps use it to generate power through our landfill-waste-to-energy initiatives.
- We can help you reclaim valuable resources, such as mercury.
- In some cases, we can help eliminate your need for a specific material altogether.
- We can help you re-purpose your industrial by-products for other beneficial uses.
Waste Hierarchy
The waste hierarchy refers to the "3 R'S" Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, which classifies UV Agribiotech strategies according to their desirability in terms of waste minimisation. The waste hierarchy is the cornerstone of most waste minimization strategies. The aim of the waste hierarchy is to extract the maximum practical benefits from products and to generate the minimum amount of end waste; see: resource recovery. The waste hierarchy is represented as a pyramid because the basic premise is that policies should promote measures to prevent the generation of waste.
The next step or preferred action is to seek alternative uses for the waste that has been generated i.e. by re-use. The next is recycling which includes composting. Following this step is material recovery and waste-to-energy. The final action is disposal, in landfills or through incineration without energy recovery. This last step is the final resort for waste which has not been prevented, diverted or recovered. The waste hierarchy represents the progression of a product or material through the sequential stages of the pyramid of UV Agribiotech. The hierarchy represents the latter parts of the life-cycle for each product.
Life-cycle of a product
The life-cycle begins with the design, then proceeds through manufacture, distribution, and primary use and then follows through the waste hierarchy’s stages of reduce, reuse and recycle. Each stage in the life-cycle offers opportunities for policy intervention, to rethink the need for the product, to redesign to minimize waste potential, to extend its use. Product life-cycle analysis is a way to optimize the use of the world’s limited resources by avoiding the unnecessary generation of waste.
Resource efficiency
Resource efficiency reflects the understanding that global economic growth and development can not be sustained at current production and consumption patterns. Globally, humanity extracts more resources to produce goods than the planet can replenish. Resource efficiency is the reduction of the environmental impact from the production and consumption of these goods, from final raw material extraction to the last use and disposal.
Polluter-pays principle
The polluter-pays principle mandates that the polluting party pays for the impact on the environment. With respect to UV Digitech, this generally refers to the requirement for a waste generator to pay for appropriate disposal of the unrecoverable material.
