waste manifest system

A waste manifest system is a tracking and documentation process used to ensure the safe and proper handling of hazardous waste. When hazardous materials are transported, a manifest form accompanies them, detailing what the waste is, its quantity, and the sender and receiver information. This system helps to monitor the journey of the waste from its source to its disposal or treatment facility, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and promoting accountability. It minimizes the risk of improper disposal, spills, or accidents, thereby protecting public health and the environment.
