Laboratory Waste Management Services

THE CHALLENGE WE SEE

Laboratory Waste Diversity: Navigating Chemical Compatibility Risks

Laboratories generate a complex mix of chemical and hazardous waste streams that require expert management and careful handling. The diversity of materials, from solvents and acids to biological waste, creates significant challenges in terms of proper segregation and storage. The small quantities of numerous different substances increase the risk of chemical incompatibility and require sophisticated tracking systems. Additionally, laboratories must maintain strict compliance with evolving regulations while ensuring complete documentation and traceability of all waste disposal. The sensitive nature of laboratory operations demands a waste management partner who understands these unique challenges and can provide tailored solutions that maintain both safety and operational efficiency.

OUR SOLUTION

From Your Site to Veolia’s Pre-Treatment Center

A dedicated waste segregation process with full traceability at every stage

Pre
Acceptance

At the Pre-Acceptance stage, Veolia will register the whole chemical waste list into its systems to get ready to collect. Veolia will also be able to recommend and provide containers such as drums (all types, all sizes), IBCs, carboy, pails, etc…

Collection &
Transport

The collection usually requires a flatbed truck ; our driver and attendant will manage the transfer of the waste from the customer premises into the truck, following strictly the customers guidelines.

Reception &
Control

Upon arrival at Veolia’s Tuas facility, the flatbed truck will be headed to the Pre-Treatment Center for further controls: order consistency check (including weight and quantities), sampling and compatibility check, dispatch to either a storage zone or to a direct treatment unit.

Tracking &
Documentation

The information systems will be updated real time, thanks to the label and barcode system, of the location and the status of each container. Upon request from the customer, Veolia will be able to issue a certificate of destruction.
