The Environment Department says factories producing wastes must comply with regulations on storage and movement, among other things.
Its director-general Norlin Jaafar said so far, DOE had licenced Scheduled Wastes Treatment and Disposal Facilities nationwide involving 406 facilities and 343 carriers. “All industries that produce scheduled wastes must manage them properly in terms of notification, characteristic, storage, labelling, inventory and movement information,” she said in a statement today.
