We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Hazardous Waste",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Cleaning machines use water-based chemicals from
Richard Alan Group, which we summarised at the time by saying "Component multi-stage cleaning machines for the washing and rinsing of containers and machinery parts use water-based chemicals and overcome the problem of using VOCs on-site".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Mixed picture of distribution industry's H and S from
Enviro Tech Europe: "A report from the Chemical Business Association (CBA) revealed the distribution industry had its lowest-ever level of accidents in 2006, but a fatality was recorded".
In May 2007, we covered the news from MCERTS Exhibition
- take a look at Air/gas testing and monitoring exhibition
which says: "The MCERTS 2007 conference, workshop and exhibition examined the latest developments in legislation, standards and monitoring technologies in the field of air/gas testing and monitoring".
Take a look also at the news release from Biffa Waste Services, Hazardous waste disposal confusing,
as well as Plasma surface cleaning is environment-friendly from Tantec,
and 180 new safety and other products in catalogue from BuckHickman InOne.
