FAQs
What makes the solution different to other systems?
This solution is specifically designed and developed to manage hazardous waste. The software is deployed and supported globally. It provides capabilities that EHS software platforms either lack or only offer in a basic form.
The platform provides customers with a compliance solution that manages hazardous waste from cradle to grave. It manages low level container contents and tracking. Complete visibility of inventory including mixed containers from different sources. The solution allows for comprehensive waste profile definition and the generation of regulatory reports. This makes it the system of choice for waste generators and environmental services companies who are seeking to a compliance solution to manage their hazardous waste.

Yes, we offer comprehensive on boarding and training to ensure quick and effective system adoption, maximizing your return on investment.
Typical implementations are less than 30 working days where there is no integration with other systems. If systems integration is involved then this will increase the time frames based on the scope of the integration.
Implementation starts with an initial kickoff meeting to understand the details of the customers operation. IMEC then configure the software to reflect the customers processes with any improvements that can be implemented. Waste profiles and other data that is available is then imported into the software. The next step would be to start training using the customers data, there could be a number of workshops, training sessions. Then the project would move to pilot stage and once complete then go live. Ongoing support is provided through the implementation.
Can you manage Universal and Non-Haz Waste?
Yes, the system can manage universal and non-hazardous also to meet waste regulations.
Yes, these are produced at various stages with the solution and can include Hazard Symbols and QR Codes. Multiple label designs are available for different purposes. Default Label Designs are delivered with the software to manage RCRA controlled waste. Custom designs can be provided to meet local waste regulations.
IMEC’s Hazardous Waste Management Software
This system manages the generation, storage, transportation, treatment, and disposal of hazardous waste. This software is used in industries such as:
- Environmental Services
- Oil and Gas
- Chemical Manufacturing
- Aviation and Aerospace
- Automotive
- Mining
Overview:
IMEC’s software tracks waste from cradle to grave. The system tracks and manages inventory and costs while producing the required labels and documentation to aid compliance. Deployed globally in large quantity hazardous waste generators and environmental service companies. The system reduces risk and aids compliance. A Mobile App and QR codes provides improved data accuracy and efficiency in managing inventory. Repacking capability with full traceability, provides management of mixed containers, This includes mixed containers from different sites, cradle to grave give. Compliance controls such as inventory levels on site and storage time limits help aid compliance.
Features Include:
- Cradle to Grave Tracking
- Logs the type, quantity, and source
- Track containers through their entire lifecycle (cradle-to-grave tracking)
- Maintains audit trails for compliance
- Regulatory Compliance
- Helps comply with local, national, and international laws (e.g., EPA in the U.S., REACH in the EU)
- Generates required reports
- Integrates with EPA eManifest
- Labeling & Profiles, Streams and Classification
A profile is a definition of a waste stream. Each profile has an effective date and an expiry date. The profile holds all regulatory information, such as hazard class, proper shipping name, disposal codes, chemical analysis etc. Profiles:
- Storage & Handling
- Ensures proper storage requirements are met (e.g., segregation, container types and condition)
- Tracks maximum storage duration in accumulation areas and within transfer and disposal facilities(TSDF).
- Manage Central Accumulation areas to ensure containers do not exceed storage time limits.
- Users can view hazardous waste inventory using a web portal. Inventory can be managed on multiple sites with ease. Each container is tracked, its current location and also a history of the container.
- The Work with Inventory feature allows complete management of inventory. Including the ability to set disposal or treatment routes and create shipments.
- Disposal Coordination
- Schedules and tracks pickups and shipments
- Tracks Manifests and Manifests returns to increase efficiency and ensure compliance.
- Produce Manifests or Electronic manifest such as eManifest in the US.
- Risk Management & Safety
- Identifies potential safety hazards
- Ensures that waste is not onsite outside of the allowed days
- Ensures that only permitted streams are received into a transfer and disposal facility.
- Analytics & Reporting
- Provides insights into generation trends, with cost tracking
- Supports sustainability and minimization strategies
- Tracks volumes on site within storage locations.
- TRI reporting and biennial reporting
- Customer Portal
A customer portal helps Brokers, Transporters and Environmental Services Companies to provide better customer service. Customers also see an increase revenue without increasing costs.
- Pickup Requests Feature
The generating departments submit requests for waste to be collected, including completing a form describing it.
Once approved for collection the environmental services department then print labels and assigns a technician to complete the pickup.
- Tracking Costs
For generators, knowing which department is responsible for the disposal costs is a key metric. For corporate users disposal costs are a key metric. Having the ability to see these costs across multiple sites helps manage and reduce costs.
Uses Cases for this solution:
The users of this software can be broken into three separate types of organizations.
- Generators, such as chemical companies, aviation and aerospace, automotive, mining and oil and gas facilities.
- Transporters, these companies collect from generators and transport it to a treatment, storage and disposal facility.
- Environmental Service companies, these companies that manage a treatment storage and disposal facility. (TSDF’s).
IMEC’s software provides a waste management solution for all three types of organizations.
Transporters
Transporters use this software to manage profiles, print compliance documentation, labels and manifests. The software allows transporters to create jobs for collection, print the required documentation and labels. Jobs are tracked from through pickup, through transport and final disposal. Reports and Dashboards provide customer service information for each customer and disposal.
Environmental Service Companies
Environmental Service Companies must properly manage hazardous waste inventory, tracking it from cradle to grave. Inventory is mixed from multiple customers before treatment, final disposal. Therefore the tracking of splits and combinations is key to environmental service companies. Tracking waste onsite ensures no breaches of compliance rules occur. RCRA compliance such as time on site or volumes onsite are also tracked providing staff with a comprehensive tool to manage operations with a TSDF.
Large Quantity Generators(LQGs)
Large quantity generators, such a chemical or oil and gas companies use the solution as a compliance solution. The software manages the waste from cradle to grave, generation to disposal.
Storage time limits for central accumulation areas are managed to maintain RCRA compliance. The software will also produce QR codes or barcodes to track containers. The QR code or Barcode is a unique tracking number for each waste container.
The software quickly and efficiently produces shipping documents, labels and manifests to meet regulations. Electronic manifests such as the US eManifest system are also supported. With uploads to the RCRA website providing a substantial cost benefit and also a time saving feature.
To ensure regulatory compliance, the weekly inspection of hazardous waste areas must also be performed as per RCRA regulations. IMEC’s hazardous waste management software provides users with a Mobile App to perform these inspections.
