Element has extensive experience in providing analytical services for hazardous waste testing, waste analysis, landfill acceptance and drilling waste. Waste classification has important implications for the disposal of various waste streams since any materials deemed hazardous must be handled with specific protocols.
In the US, Canada, and the UK, government directives and laws set limits on physical characteristics and properties of waste and waste disposal.
