Testing the restriction
Veolia intends the cloud-based system to ensure compliance and traceability for both hazardous and non-hazardous waste.
The waste management company explained that the system logs collection requests and automatically segregates each item based on potential hazards and physical and chemical properties, to ensure the “correct classification, storage and movement in accordance with the local geographical legislation”.
The company said this could help users to remove wastes from their sites efficiently, with the back-up of the necessary data for compliance purposes.
Stuart Stock, chief information officer at Veolia, said: “By developing this using our in-house waste management experience, we believe the new system now represents a major step forward for managing wastes for our customers.
