FAQs

Industrial waste is an umbrella term for non-hazardous and/or hazardous waste materials produced in industrial facilities. It is a byproduct of a company’s operations. These materials may come from automotive maintenance, construction debris, textile manufacturing, and many other daily activities that take place in a plant, warehouse, laboratory, or industrial establishment.

Non-hazardous industrial waste refers to industrial materials that pose little to no risk to the environment or human health and safety. Non-hazardous waste may include scrap metals, food processing waste, used oil, and other industrial byproducts. Despite being non-hazardous, these materials still require proper industrial waste management and disposal procedures to adhere to compliance standards.

Industrial waste management is an integral component of running a safe, efficient, and compliant industrial facility. Waste management regulations are governed by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to encourage human health, safety, and environmental protection. Proper waste management can also reduce operational expenses.

Industrial waste management services are an invaluable asset for virtually every type of industrial facility. At EnviroBEE, we excel in tailored waste management solutions to accommodate diverse business requirements and specifications. Some common sectors we serve include automotive, aerospace, food processing, manufacturing, distribution, warehouses, and more.

Minimizing industrial waste contributes to decreased operational overhead and increased environmental protection. To reduce your facility’s waste production, we recommend the following strategies:

• Upgrade outdated technology and machinery
• Consider waste management training for your staff
• Prioritize routine equipment and machinery maintenance
• Put a recycling program into practice

To maintain maximum environmental responsibility, facilities may implement zero-waste initiatives. Zero-waste initiatives mean that a company recycles or reuses materials that would otherwise be transported to a landfill. These initiatives provide companies with the opportunity to receive benefits in exchange for their sustainable efforts of producing zero waste.

Not only are zero waste initiatives highly regarded by environmental agencies and governing entities, but they also provide many benefits. The advantages of implementing sustainable zero-waste efforts include:

• Reduced manufacturing and material overhead
• Minimized waste production and associated waste disposal costs
• Decreased energy and utility expenses over the long term
• A “Green” reputation
