The state of Jharkhand though is one of the richest in mineral deposit and known for its booming industrial estates has several issues in the management of hazardous waste being produced in different sectors. Such sectors include mining, production of steel, chemicals, and other manufacturing industries considered as pillars of a country’s economy that perhaps can be very much detrimental to the environment in case of poor management. In order to mitigate them, the government of Jharkhand has framed elaborate legal provisions prior to disposal and handling of hazardous waste along with treatment. This framework is very vital in conserving and maintaining the quality of environment and health which is affected through contamination by hazardous wastes like soils, water and air. In this blog let us discuss, the stepwise hazardous waste management authorization in Jharkhand which includes understanding about the details of rules and regulation as per the Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling, and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016, especially guidelines provided by Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board (JSPCB). We will also emphasize the documentation including permits and compliance reports; authorities that undertake the implementations of these regulations. Thus, understanding these processes helps the industries to act in accordance with the corresponding standards and prevent negative impacts on the environment in Jharkhand.
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.
The benefits of Hazardous Waste Management Authorization include:

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.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
