Introduction to Industrial Waste Management
Industrial waste management refers to the structured process of safely removing, treating, recycling, and disposing of unwanted waste generated from industrial processes. This includes emissions to air, discharges to water, and solid by-products.
Proper waste management is essential as it prevents environmental pollution and safeguards public health. Implementing an online industrial waste management system not only reduces the ecological footprint of a business but also lowers operational costs.
All manufacturing units that produce waste require Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO) from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Authorization is also needed from State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs).

Radioactive Waste
From nuclear/medical industries
Highly regulated and requires shielding and containment.
Biodegradable Waste
Organic by-products
Can be composted or anaerobically digested.
| Aspect | Hazardous Waste | Non-Hazardous Waste |
|---|---|---|
| Definition | Dangerous/toxic waste materials | General non-toxic industrial by-products |
| Handling | Special precautions, authorization required | Standard handling and recycling possible |
| Examples | Chemical residues, radioactive material | Packaging waste, scrap metal, organic matter |
