3 PREFACE We hereby offer you the newly adapted version of the waste management regulation This regulation stipulates how the different waste products that are generated at the Faculty of Science (FNWI), must be collected and disposed of. It is a shared responsibility of the Faculty and all its employees to collect and remove waste products in an environmentally safe and sustainable manner. By means of this waste management regulation, we endeavour to achieve: o That it will become clear for every employee how different waste products should be collected and removed; o That, by means of a constantly improving system of waste separation, the possibilities for reuse and recycling will increase; o That, by means of a constantly improving system of waste separation, the costs of sanitation will remain controllable. Moreover, by means of this waste management regulation, the Faculty fulfils it legal obligations. This adapted version of the waste management regulation 2006 was established by various people at the Faculty, in close collaboration with the Health & Safety and Environmental Department (AMD). Despite our attempted thoroughness, it may be that you incidentally come across certain waste products that are not referred to in this manual, or that you are uncertain to which category a certain waste product belongs. In such cases, you are kindly requested to contact any of the following people or institutions: Logistiek Centrum (Logistics Centre) Telephone: (36) [email protected] Arbo-en milieudienst (AMD) [email protected] Jos Henderik Telephone: (36) [email protected] Yours sincerely, Department of Housing and Internal Affairs Faculty of Science, FNWI documentnumber INL.2 februari 2006

5 INTRODUCTION The great diversity of work activities that are carried out at the Faculty of Science results in the discharge of many different waste products. From the viewpoint of environmental legislation, a proper environmental protection as well as cost management, it is essential to separate these waste products as much as possible. The waste management regulation you are currently reading is a tool to help you achieve this. Industrial waste and hazardous waste The stipulations for the waste management regulation abide by the Dutch Environmental Management Act (i.e. Wet Milieubeheer ). In this act, a distinction is made between, amongst others, industrial waste and hazardous waste. In principle, waste products that fall under the category of industrial waste are largely the same as the waste products that are released in the everyday domestic context. Examples are: wastepaper, glass waste, bulky waste, old refrigerators (white goods), and old electronic equipment (brown goods). Hazardous waste is the official name for the type of waste that until 1994 was termed chemical waste. Mainly, it is released as a result of laboratory work. Other hazardous waste flows for example include waste oil, photo chemicals, and small hazardous office waste. An integral part of this waste management regulation is the Regulation hazardous waste for the University of Nijmegen (i.e. Regeling gevaarlijk afval Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen ). In addition to these two categories, the Faculty produces radioactive waste and waste resulting from work with genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In view of the special legislation that has been introduced for these types of waste, radioactive waste and GMO waste are not included in this waste management regulation. For more information on these topics, please refer to the Manual Radiation Protection and the Manual GMO. Waste reduction Our university s waste policy, in line with the national Dutch waste policy, is aimed at preventing the production of waste. The waste that is produced nonetheless must be separated as much as possible, because a proper separation provides possibilities for the reuse and recycling of waste products. Only when reuse or recycling is unfeasible, will the waste be burnt or disposed of at a landfill site. Cost management Apart from providing an optimal system of waste processing, a proper separation of refuse is also an effective means of keeping the university s expenditures in check. To give some examples: disposing of paper via the residual waste flow is many times more expensive than when using a separate channel of waste paper discharge. When chemically polluted glassware is discovered among a consignment of ordinary glass waste, the whole batch will have to be removed as hazardous waste. Suggestions for improvement? If you see possibilities for improving our system of the waste separation or have ideas about how to prevent the production of waste, you are kindly requested to contact the Logistics Centre, tel , or the AMD, tel They will support you in establishing a system of separate waste collection or help to co-ordinate the waste removal. They can furthermore assess whether your suggestions can be applied at other departments within the Faculty. Transport For the actual removal of waste material, you can appeal to the Logistics Centre, the Department of Housing and Internal Affairs, or the Household Services Unit (i.e. Corvee ). You can find their telephone numbers on the ensuing waste product sheets. The waste management regulation on the Internet: This waste management regulation is updated regularly. For the most recent version, please consult: of documentnumber INL.3 februari 2006

6 How to use this waste management regulation When you are not sure how to dispose of a certain waste product, you can find out in a number of ways: 1. Consult the Overview waste flows, INL.5, and look up the waste flow about which you need further information. 2. Consult the Index waste products in Appendix 3. For all chemicals and materials in this list, it is stated under which waste flow category they come. The list furthermore refers you to the appropriate document number. 3. In case you are in doubt about under which particular waste flow category your waste comes, you are kindly requested to contact the Logistics Centre (tel ) or the Health & Safety and Environmental Department (AMD; tel ). 4. It might be that the particular type of waste you want to dispose of has not been included in this regulation. In such a case, it is most likely that it either comes under an incidental waste flow category, or it is part of a waste flow that has not been produced at the Faculty before. In order for the waste material to be collected and removed properly, please contact the Logistics Centre (tel ) or the Health & Safety and Environmental Department (AMD; tel ). In consultation with you, they will consider how to remove the waste. If necessary, your waste flow will be included in the next version of the waste management regulation.

20 0.2 REGULATION HAZARDOUS WASTE - GENERAL General 1.1. The Regulation Hazardous Waste (RGA) has been established for all employees of the University of Nijmegen on the basis of the Dutch Environmental Management Act (i.e. Wet Milieubeheer) It is determined on the basis of the EURAL, the European list of waste products, whether a certain waste product is hazardous or not. In the past, the university applied a Dutch list for the same purpose the so-called BAGA or Besluit Aanwijzing Gevaarlijke Afvalstoffen (i.e. Decree Indication Hazardous Waste Products). For additional information about Eural, please contact the Health & Safety and Environmental Department (AMD) at The department is responsible for the correct separation and delivery of all waste Hazardous waste must be reported for transport at the Logistics Centre (tel ) The Logistics Centre is responsible for the transport of waste products as well as for the contracts with waste processing firms When placing hazardous chemicals in a storage facility, you need to take the following requirements into account: - drip-trays need to be in position; - hazardous products must remain separated. In other words, hazardous chemicals need to be compartmentalised, to prevent dangerous chemical reactions from occurring; - the storage facility must be fireproof; - the maximum permitted quantity of hazardous chemicals outside a safe storage facility is 25 kilos; - packing material must be labelled with the appropriate warning symbols. The storage of hazardous chemicals is described in the directive CPR 15-1: opslag gevaarlijke stoffen in emballage (i.e. storage hazardous chemicals in packing material ). This directive has been drawn up by the Dutch Committee for the Prevention of Disasters (Commissie Preventie Rampen). New buildings must meet the requirements of the new directive PGS 15 (Publicatiereeks Gevaarlijke Stoffen 15, i.e. Publication Series Hazardous Chemicals ). This last directive encompasses ordinances regarding fire safety, occupational health and safety, as well as environmental safety. For more information about these regulations and directives, please contact the Health & Safety and Environmental Department (AMD) The removal of waste resulting from work activities with Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) has been recorded in the Manual GGO RU / UMC St Radboud, and is available at AMD Radioactive waste must be collected and disposed of according to the regulations recorded in the Manual Radiation Protection. For more information or a copy of this manual, please consult the radiation specialist at your department or contact AMD. documentnumber RGA 0.2 februari 2006
