Soli Waste / Solid Testing
The classification of solid waste is typically based on its source, composition, and potential environmental risks. Common categories include municipal solid waste (household and commercial trash), industrial waste (manufacturing and construction by-products), hazardous waste (materials that are toxic, flammable, or corrosive), and biomedical waste (generated from healthcare facilities). Additionally, waste can be further categorized into biodegradable, recyclable, and non-recyclable types, depending on its ability to be decomposed or processed for reuse. Proper classification is essential for implementing effective waste management strategies, recycling programs, and environmental regulations.
Using USEPA SW-846 methods tailored for waste characterization, Vantage Laboratory Services assists in determining whether waste products are hazardous or non-hazardous, ensuring proper disposal. Commonly performed tests include the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and the Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP), which identify hazardous materials that could potentially leach into the environment.
