REF: 8111_284340
DATE: 15 - 19 Jul 2024
LOCATION:

Amsterdam (Netherlands)

INDIVIDUAL FEE:

4900 Euro



Introduction

Improper storage of hazardous chemicals - both products and wastes - incompatible inspection of containment materials, using hazardous products when non-hazardous products are available, and inadequate staff training are some of the leading causes of environmental contamination.

Contamination can come in many forms. One example of contamination is ground. Surface water, land, air, radioactive, food, noise, moulds, odour, construction, vibration, and invariably, if these contaminants are not properly dealt with, will result in pollution and, in certain situations, serious health problems.

This five-day eco-friendly hazardous waste management and prevention conference will provide details on the various types of contaminants and the new frontiers in eliminating or minimizing them. This seminar on eco-friendly hazardous waste management and prevention will also discuss the use of effective non-hazardous products in your company and environmentally acceptable disposal methods for both hazardous and non-hazardous wastes.

Incorporating Eco-Friendly Waste Management Systems

Understanding the importance of hazardous waste management and the impact of eco-friendly waste management systems is crucial in developing sustainable practices. Through the eco-friendly hazardous waste management and prevention course, participants will explore the definition of hazardous waste management, become certified hazardous waste managers, and become adept in basic hazardous waste management and methods, including adopting eco-safe waste management systems.

These eco-friendly waste management methods comply with regulations and serve as eco-friendly solutions for waste management, minimizing the environmental footprint of the organizations involved. The eco-friendly hazardous waste management and prevention conference will culminate with practical applications of this knowledge, preparing attendees for various discussions and activities in waste management workshops, seminars on waste management, and the broader hazardous waste management training conference.
