Authorization for Export of Hazardous Waste

Hazardous waste is any waste that poses a potential threat to human health or the environment. These wastes can be in the form of solids, liquids, or gases and are generated through various manufacturing and industrial activities. Hazardous waste can be classified based on their properties like biological, chemical, and physical, which make them toxic, reactive, ignitable, infectious, corrosive or radioactive. Proper hazardous waste management includes collection, recycling, treatment, disposal, and transportation of wastes, which requires proper authorization from the authority.

To export hazardous waste, individuals must obtain authorization from the appropriate authority. Hazardous waste exports from India listed in Part A & Part B of Schedule III & Schedule VI require permission from the Ministry of Environment and Forest. The list of hazardous waste that can be exported includes metal and metal-bearing waste, waste with metal carbonyls, leaching residues from zinc processing, clean uncontaminated metal scrap, paper and paperboard waste, and used multifunction print and copying machines.
