According to its properties, the waste is classified to: hazardous, non-hazardous and inert waste.

Hazardous waste is the waste having any property of hazardous, referred to in the list of hazardous waste properties, ranging from H1 to H15 (explosiveness, reactivity,  irritation, harmfulness, toxicity, carcinogenicity, infectiveness, flammability, corrosiveness, mutagenic, teratogenicity, if containing substances exhausting toxic gases if in contact with water, air and acid; if containing eco-toxic substances):

  • Chemical waste,
  • Oily waste,
  • Electronic and electrical waste,
  • Construction waste and waste containing asbestos,
  • Batteries and accumulators,
  • Waste from oil and residues of liquid fuel,
  • condensers,
  • transformers,
  • glass wool, etc.

Non-hazardous waste is the waste which according to its composition and properties has been defined as non-hazardous waste that is, the one not doing any harm to human health and does not endanger the environment.

Electrical and electronic waste

Electrical and electronic waste (EE waste)is electrical and electronic waste equipment, including slops and compositional parts generated in business (industry, turnover, and similar), then electronic waste from households, waste generated in production and/or service activities, when its types and quantities are similar to EE waste from the households.

Electronic – electrical waste is characterized as hazardous waste and in accordance with the Law on Waste Management may not be mixed with other waste types.

“Hemosan” is dealing with organized collection, transport, classification, storing and recycling of electronic-electrical waste.

Chemical waste

Chemical waste implies any waste containing chemical substances possessing one of the following characteristics: corrosiveness, flammability, toxicity, reactivity or cancerogeneity.

Chemical waste in solid, liquid or gaseous form may cause deterioration of human health and also lead to severe forms of environmental protection if processed, stored and transported improperly.

Our Company has all of the required permits for collection, classification, packing, dumping, storing, export and disposal of chemical waste.

Chemical waste acceptance procedure includes following activities:

  • collection, transport and storing,
  • classifying (acids, bases, organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, compounds containing Hg),
  • recording and characterization,
  • export and final disposal.

ASBESTOS AND GLASS WOOL

In the past, materials that are definitely harmful for human health and environment had been installed in numerous construction structures and ships.

Aiming at protecting the human health and the environment, we have developed the sanitation procedures which technically and technologically constitute optimal solutions, which may be safely performed with our experts and modern equipment. We are able to offer all services, starting from the takeover, sanitation, to final handover of cleaned space for further use.

Hazardous waste overtaken is temporary stored in our recycling centre, until its export and final disposal.

WASTE OIL (MOTOR AND EDIBLE OIL)

Due to their properties, waste motor oil is classified as hazardous waste.

Extremely high possibilities of recycling waste oils underline the need for their collection and recycling in quantities as higher as possible, in order to preserve the environment and regulate consumption of natural resources.

Waste motor oil is any mineral, synthetic, industrial, insulation or thermal oil which cannot be used any more for the originally intended purpose.

Waste edible oil is any oil generated from carrying out catering and tourist activities.
