Lecture 8 - Hazardous Waste

If a waste poses a health hazard or is easily combustiable, it requires special care during processing. Already before these materials become waste they underlie special regulations as to how they should be stored, transported and handeled. This also includes special kind of containers.

In order to learn more about the practical experience with handling these substances Sebastian Frisch from BlackForest Solutions GmbH was invited as a guest lecturer.
