To achieve these challenges there are several regulatory measures put in place by the state to provide for safe handling, treatment as well as disposal of hazardous wastes. This framework is highly imperative especially in the young stringently industrialized world with the aim of safeguarding health of the people as well as integrity of the environment. The state’s method is the severe legislation that dictates the methods of proper classification, identification, actions towards waste treatment, and its disposal. Such regulations have been put in place as measures to counter the several ill consequences associated with hazardous wastes, for instance extreme environmental and health hazards that result from improper handling of the wastes. In this blog, I will explain the Authorization process of the hazardous waste management in Chhattisgarh, step by step procedures involved in getting the Authorization along with the Authorization norms & requisite documents.

Hazardous waste management can be defined as the systems used in identification, collection, transport, processing, recycling and disposal of waste products that may be injurious to the health of humans and other living organisms, as well as the surrounding environment. These materials which are categorized to be hazardous may be in solid, liquid or gaseous state and usually contain poisonous, acidic or alkaline, inflammable or explosive and reactive chemicals. But good management must be undertaken so as to avoid any negative interaction with the compound and pollution of the environment.
Planning entails the identification and categorisation of the hazardous waste, after that comes the collection and storage of the waste. This step is critical to prevent types and amounts which are more hazardous from being generated in the first place and thus avoid more unusual and serious types of environmental pollution. Different types of wastes require different methods of treatment; however, they normally comprise chemical, biological, or thermal processes that seek to remove menacing compounds. On some occasions, hazardous waste can be reclaimed or find another use thus they do not require disposal.
Disposal is the last one, normally in a secure landfill that has been constructed to avoid any escape of wastes and possible pollution of the environment. Legalities that aim at providing a proper way of dealing with hazardous wastes are strictly enacted with both regional, national, and even international policies being in place.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
