Foreword
The Hazardous
Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1989 provide that the industries
producing certain categories of waste covered in the schedule, shall
apply to respective State Pollution Control Boards for authorisation
under Rule While processing such applications, the questions which
are to be considered include the following :
What is the Basel Convention equivalent of the waste?
In which type of industries, specific category of waste can be expected?
In each of such type of industry , in which sub-activity , the category
of waste can be expected?
For each such sub-activity, what is the best way to dispose the corresponding
waste, in order of preference?
With which other waste, the category ofwaste is incompatible?
When the waste is to be transported, what label should it carry as
per Motor Vehicles Act, 1988?
Whether the waste can be recycled?
What normally is the waste character? In which other industry, the
waste can be found?

| To
provide answers for these questions, a Ready Reckoner has been prepared
by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) under the Hazardous
Waste Management Component of the Indo-Geiman Bilateral project. This
includes existing 18 categories and also for 5 additional categories
(though unscheduled today) so as to complete the harmonisation with
the list given in Basel Convention ( except Municipal and Bio-medical
wastes).
While preparing
the Ready Reckoner, the European Waste Catalogue and the' Gennan
Catalogue of Waste requiring particular supervision, were referred
to. This Reckoner is intended to facilitate the implementation of
the Rules. As the work would progress, more infonnation may be gathered
which could be used to fillup the vacant slots.
This document is the outcome of collective efforts by Shri. A.K.
JMhaskar, Short Tenn Con$ultant in CPCB-GTZ Project (under Indo-Gennan
Bilateral Cooperation Programme) and Dr. D.B. Boralkar, Senior Scientist
& Assistant Secretary in CPCB under the guidance of Dr. S.P. Chakrabarti,
erstwhile Member Secretary, CPCB. Shri. Gopi P. and Shri. Neeraj
Katiyar provided the secretarial and typing assistance.
