Course Unit CE-U2 Waste management
This module provides an overview of the more important EU and some Non-EU regulation about hazardous waste materials and in particular chemical waste materials. The course introduces to the aims and core principles of EU waste hierarchy. In applying the hierarchy hazardous waste producers and waste managers shall opt for hazardous waste management that takes into account the resource value of hazardous wastes, and the need for health and safety to be maintained and delivers the best overall environmental outcome.
