The Hazardous Waste in Your Facility
From research and development to manufacturing, your cosmetic facility generates significant chemical waste that can affect both your team and the environment.
- Research and development lab waste: Rejected batches, samples and expired raw materials all contribute to your facility's hazardous waste. When improperly disposed of, even small amounts of formula left in vials, unattended pigments and preservatives can cause dangerous reactions.
- Production and manufacturing waste: Various dangerous solvents, such as alcohol, ketones and hydrocarbons, are often used to clean mixing vats. The resulting mixture of solvent, cosmetic residue and water left over is often flammable and hazardous, meaning you cannot throw it down the drain, and it must be disposed of professionally. There are also contaminated solids and off-spec products that legally cannot be placed in dumpsters.
Common Cosmetic Chemicals We Manage
At Chem Klean, we handle a range of chemical waste, including:
- Flammable liquids: We can handle alcohols, solvents and fragrances, including isopropyl alcohol, acetone and ethyl acetate.
- Corrosives: Our team can dispose of pH adjusters and other cleaning agents.
- Oxidizers: We remove the peroxides used to make hair products.
- Reactive solids: From pigments to metallic powders, we will help you safely dispose of reactive solids.
How We Ensure Safe and Compliant Cosmetic Waste Disposal
We follow a three-step process to help you dispose of hazardous chemicals properly:
Step 1: On-Site Waste Assessment
From the R&D lab to the production floor, our experts will visit your facility to run a comprehensive audit of the chemicals you use and the waste you generate.
Step 2: Expert Lab Packing and Segregation
Our technicians carefully sort the waste by chemical compatibility to prevent dangerous reactions. We place the waste in DOT-approved containers and ensure proper cushioning for safety. We label each container in accordance with EPA and DOT regulations and prepare a detailed inventory manifest to demonstrate compliance.
Step 3: Secure Transportation and Disposal
Our licensed and trained personnel handle all logistics, including transporting waste from your facility to a certified treatment center and preparing and managing the regulatory paperwork. Finally, we provide you with a disposal certificate to prove compliance.
