Non-hazardous waste is stored separately in designated waste rooms or temporary storage areas in accordance with applicable requirements and is managed daily by the responsible departments. Recyclable waste is collected and transported by qualified recycling contractors under the Company’s supervision. Bulk discarded materials and equipment are weighed, registered upon entry into storage, and properly recorded.
Hazardous waste is collected separately by the relevant departments and transferred to the Warehousing Department for centralized temporary storage and management in accordance with applicable requirements. During storage, quantities are verified, inbound and outbound records are maintained, and hazardous waste labels are affixed. Storage facilities must be designed to ensure compatibility and prevent leakage and contamination.
