IMEC’s Hazardous Waste Management Software
The Challenges Facing Hazardous Waste Generators
Fragmented data
- Multiple spreadsheets used by different departments/sites
- No single source of truth for waste profiles
- Difficult to determine exactly where a waste container was located
Limited inventory visibility
- Difficulty tracking containers between generation, accumulation, storage and shipment
- Manual updates leading to outdated inventory
Compliance risk
- Difficulty monitoring storage time limits to maintain RCRA compliance.
- Manual tracking of manifests and returns
- Risk of incorrect labels or documentation
Operational inefficiency
- Duplicate data entry
- Manual preparation of shipping documentation
- Time spent searching for waste records
Cost visibility
- Difficult to determine which production department generated waste
- Limited ability to analyze disposal costs by site, department or waste stream
- What is IMEC’s Hazardous Waste Management Software
IMEC’s Hazardous Waste Management Software is a hazardous waste inventory and tracking system designed to manage waste from generation through storage, transportation, treatment and final disposal. It provides cradle to grave tracking of waste containers, waste profiles, shipments, manifests, storage locations and related documentation.
The system provides a central record of hazardous waste information and can be used across multiple sites. A mobile app uses QR codes or barcodes to record container activity and update inventory as waste is generated, moved, stored, combined, split, repacked or shipped.
The software also supports waste documentation, labels, reporting, storage-time alerts, waste-profile management and audit trails. For environmental service companies, it can support customer-specific waste profiles, transfer and disposal operations, and traceability when waste from different customers is combined or repacked.
- What Companies use IMEC’s Solution?
IMEC’s solution is used by three main types of organizations:
- Hazardous waste generators, including chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, automotive, aerospace, oil and gas and other organizations that generate significant quantities of hazardous waste.
- Waste transporters that collect hazardous waste and manage collection jobs, documentation, labels and shipment information.
- Environmental service companies and treatment, storage and disposal facilities (TSDFs) that receive, consolidate, treat and dispose of hazardous waste.
The software can also support organizations managing waste across multiple departments, locations or facilities, with visibility of waste profiles, containers, shipments, using RCRA EPA e-Manifest and costs.
- What problems does it solve for Hazardous Waste Generators, Waste Transporters and Environmental Services Companies?
Hazardous waste operations can involve fragmented spreadsheets, limited visibility of container locations, manual inventory updates, managing compliance deadlines, creating shipment documentation and difficulty understanding departmental waste costs.
IMEC’s software addresses these operational issues by providing a central system for waste records and container movements. It records waste from the point of generation and maintains an audit trail as containers move through accumulation, storage, shipment, treatment and disposal.
The system is also designed to reduce manual data entry and improve visibility of waste by site, department, waste stream, storage location and shipment status. For large quantity hazardous waste generators that need to monitor storage time limits, automated email alerts identify waste approaching its configured limit, 90 days for central accumulation areas (CAA).
- How does IMEC’s Hazardous Waste Management Software work?
Waste is recorded when it is generated and assigned to a waste profile containing relevant information such as hazard classification, shipping information, disposal codes and supporting documents. QR codes or barcodes can then be used to identify containers with unique tracking id’s. These tracking ID’s are then scanned to record subsequent movements.
Using the mobile app, users can create and manage containers, record movements, perform stock checks, process shipments, and split, combine or repack containers. For Environmental Service Companies this traceability can manage containers that contain waste from different sites or customers.
The system tracks waste through accumulation and storage areas, with configurable storage-time monitoring and email alerts to maintain compliance with RCRA. Storage-area inspections can be performed through the mobile app, weekly as per the RCRA requirements.
For shipments, the software supports shipment planning, shipment summaries, manifests and electronic manifests such as the U.S. EPA e-Manifest. For environmental service companies, waste profiles and chemical-analysis results can be stored and used to help verify incoming waste against expected profile information.
Reporting provides visibility into waste generation, waste volumes, waste costs by department, shipments and inventory across sites.
