Title III
HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
Requirements and Procedures
What are Hazardous Wastes?
 substances that are without any safe commercial,
industrial, agricultural or economic usage and are
shipped, transported or brought from the country of
origin for dumping or disposal into or in transit
through any part of the territory of the Philippines

 by-products, side-products, process residues, spent


reaction media, contaminated plant or equipment or
other substances from manufacturing operations
and as consumer discards of manufactured products
which present unreasonable risk and/or injury to
health and safety and to the environment
Hazardous Waste Management
From Cradle to Grave

The GENERATOR has the responsibility until the


waste has been disposed of properly in an
environmentally sound way or liable in case of
spill or illegal disposal
