THE CHALLENGE WE SEE

The Need for Proven Expertise in Explosive Materials Handling

Explosive Precursors (EP), which are chemicals used to manufacture explosives, such as ammonium nitrate and ammonium perchlorate, and Explosives, meaning finished products like ammunition, explosive devices, and fireworks, are both regulated under the Guns, Explosives and Weapons Control Act 2021 (GEWCA). This law defines licensing requirements for the possession, use, and disposal of regulated chemicals and explosive materials. Due to the industrial risks involved, collection and disposal must be handled with extreme care, on-site, in transit, and during treatment. Beyond compliance, stakeholders should rely on a licensed TIWC with the expertise and technology to ensure safe, effective disposal.

OUR SOLUTION

Development of Specific Waste Procedures

Veolia develops tailored waste procedures to ensure full compliance with its SPF licence and to guarantee maximum safety from on-site collection to final treatment at Veolia facilities.

Pre
Acceptance 

The typical Veolia pre-acceptance process will include, for EP waste, the development of a specific procedure in compliance with our SPF licence.

Coordinated
Planning

As EP waste has to be treated as soon as possible upon its arrival at Veolia’s, the coordination between the waste generator and Veolia is key in collection planning.

Direct
Treatment

Most of the EP waste has to be treated by High Temperature Incineration (HTI) with energy recovery, via automated direct injection systems, avoiding the storage step.

Tracking and
Certificate

Provision of certificate of destruction, offering full traceability and legal compliance documentation for your regulatory requirements.
