The document discusses hazardous waste, defining it as waste that poses dangers to humans and the environment, and outlines the management process established by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). It details the roles of hazardous waste generators, transporters, and treatment facilities, emphasizing the importance of recycling and safe disposal. Additionally, it presents statistics on global hazardous waste generation and transboundary movement, highlighting the need for sustainable waste management practices.

9. In 1976, the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) was Enacted by USEPA
for the Proper Management of Hazardous
Waste. USEPA Established a Comprehensive
Framework Program to Ensure that Hazardous
Waste is Managed Safely from “Cradle to
Grave” Meaning from the Time it is Created
Transported, Treated, Stored, and Disposed.

11. HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATION
 RCRA Mandates HW Generators as
the Primary Link in the HW
Management System.
 Generators Must Assess their HW
and Oversee its Ultimate Fate.
 Generators Must Ensure HW
Identification, Management, and
Treatment Before Disposal.
 The Degree of Regulation that
Applies to Each Generator Depends
on the Amount of HW Generated.
EPA.GOV
RCRA: Title 40 — Part262

12. HAZARDOUS WASTE transport
RCRA: Title 40 — Part263
 HW Transporters are Individuals or
Entities that Move HW from One
Site to Another.
 They Play an Integral Role in the
Management System by Delivering
HW from its Point of Generation to
the Ultimate Destination.
 This Includes Transporting from a
Generator's Site to a Facility that
Can Recycle, Treat, Store or Dispose
of the Waste.
EPA.GOV

13. HAZARDOUS WASTE Recycle, TREATMENT & DISPOSAL
RCRA: Title 40 — Part264
 Many HWs Can be Recycled Safely
and Effectively while other Wastes
will be Treated and Disposed of in
Landfills or Incinerators.
 Recycling HW has Many Benefits
Including Reducing the
Consumption of Raw Materials and
the Volume of Waste Materials that
Must be Treated or Disposed.
 Treatment Storage and Disposal
Facilities Provide Temporary Storage
and Final Treatment or Disposal. EPA.GOV

15. In 1992, at UNCED, HW Management Policies
were Addressed. UNEP Established the Harmful
Substances and Hazardous Materials Program
Focusing on National Implementation. Basel
Rotterdam, and Stockholm Conventions Share
the Common Objective of Protecting Health
and the Environment from Hazardous Waste.
