Home » Hazardous waste containment and the role of right containers
The United States produces around 265 million metric tons of hazardous waste every year. With ongoing incidents, hazardous waste containment and disposal have become an increasing concern in recent times. In July 2020, a Boise-based agribusiness giant, J. R. Simplot company had to pay a whopping fine worth $775,000 for illegally placing hazardous material in a waste pile of calcium sulfate by-products. The right type of containers facilitates efficient hazardous waste management, thereby helping businesses avoid such costs.
