Hazardous Waste Management

Collection – requirements for registers, containers and transportation.
Treatment

– requirements on treatment facilities.
Disposal – requirements for HW landfills
Hazardous wastes can take the form of solids, liquids, sludges, or contained gases. This needs to be considered when deciding on the management options.

REACH: Registration

The European Chemicals Agency is responsible for managing the database,

receiving registration dossiers and developing technical guides aimed at helping manufacturers, importers and the competent authorities in implementing these provisions.
During the first eleven years of application of the REACH system, around 30 000 substances already on the market should be registered.

information must be supplied to the other authorities so that

they can adopt appropriate measures.
For example, if, while the substance is being evaluated, information on risk management measures become available and could have an impact on the conditions of use of that substance, the information should be transmitted to the authorities responsible for this legislation.

After inclusion of this substance any placing on the market

and use of such chemical substances is subject to authorisation. This is granted if the risks arising from the substance in question can be validly controlled. If they cannot and if no alternative exists, the Commission is to assess the level of risk and the socio-economic advantages of using the substance and decide whether to authorise it or not.
Some substances, such as PBTs and vPvBs can be authorised only if the socio-economic advantages override the risks and there are no alternatives.

REACH: Authorisation

The burden of proof is placed on the applicant. All

authorisations must be reviewed after a certain period of time, determined on a case-by-case basis.
Downstream users may use a substance for an authorised use provided they obtain the substance from a company to which an authorisation has been granted and keep within the conditions of that authorisation.

An assessment is obligatory for certain projects:
dangerous industrial facilities such as

oil refineries, nuclear fuel or nuclear waste treatment facilities, integrated chemical installations;
power stations of more than 300 megawatts or nuclear power stations;
transport infrastructure such as railways, airports, motorways, inland waterways and ports when the infrastructure exceeds certain specific thresholds;
waste and water treatment facilities;
large mining facilities (large quarries, large gas or oil rigs);
water transport or storage facilities, and dams;
