Waste Management in PDO

• Introduction
• Categories of waste
• Types of Wastes
• Sources of wastes
• Consignment Notes / Waste Routes
• Treatment / Disposal of Wastes
• Conclusions
• Way Forward

3
Introduction

• PDOs philosophy, practice and procedures for
  waste management place emphasis on the prevention
  of waste generation, followed by 3R
• Reuse,
• Recycle and
• Recover.

4
Waste Management Objectives

• Wastes shall be managed in order to
• reduce their potential to cause harm to
• health or
• environment, and
• reduce operating costs
• avoid future liabilities.

5
Waste Management Hierarchy
Pollution prevention elimination, change or
reduction of operating practices which result in
wastes. Source reduction generation of less
wastes through more efficient processes Re-use
the use of materials or products that are
reusable in their original from. Recycling/recover
y the conversion of wastes into usable
materials, or the extraction of energy or
materials from wastes. Treatment the
destruction, detoxification and/or neutralisation
of residues. Responsible disposal depositing
wastes using methods appropriate for a given
situation.
6
Categories of wastes

• The main types of wastes arising from our
  operations are
• non-hazardous wastes
• hazardous wastes
• In PDO, we aim to control and minimize waste
  generated thus reducing environmental impact.

7
Non Hazardous Waste (MD 17/93) Any solid material
or semi solid which does not have any danger to
the environment or to the human health if it is
dealt with in a scientific way
Hazardous Waste (MD 18/93) Any liquid or solid
waste which because of its quantity, physical,
chemical or infectious characteristics can result
in hazards to human health or the environment
when improperly handled, stored, transported,
treated or disposed of.

Waste Consignment Notes (WCN) should accompany
all types of waste transported
The WCN is the documentary evidence which is used
to demonstrate that the waste has been managed in
a responsible manner
11
The WCN comprises of 3 different colour forms
