Hazardous waste management is a problem in many industrialized sections of the world, and here Uttar Pradesh is especially disadvantaged by the great population and industrial activities of one of India’s most heavily populated provinces. It is known that the state produces chemical manufacturing and pharmaceuticals waste, textile, electronics as well as other wastes of hazardous nature. Thus, it becomes imperative to comprehend the ways of managing this waste because the dangers are inherent in their impact on the health of people and the environment in general. To overcome these problems Uttar Pradesh has put into practice an effective legal and regulatory structure in regard to the handling, treatment and disposal of hazardous waste. This framework is in compliance with expired Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 that contained provisions on classification, handling, storage and disposal of hazardous material. The state also underlines the necessity to minimize the volume of waste as well as the applied recycling and recovery practices in order to decrease the adverse effects. Some of the key organizations which have a significant responsibility with reference to implementation of these regulations-regardless of the region-and issuance of relevant permits include the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB).
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.
