Foshan City Launches Special Rectification of Hazardous Waste from Waste Packaging Containers in 2024

Time：

2024-03-01

To standardize the management of hazardous waste in waste packaging containers in Foshan City, the Foshan Ecological Environment Bureau has formulated the "Foshan 2024 Special Rectification Plan for Hazardous Waste in Waste Packaging Containers", which guides enterprises to dispose of waste packaging containers in accordance with laws and regulations through special measures.

1、 Work objectives

Conduct inspections on enterprises that generate, collect, store, utilize, and dispose of hazardous waste from waste packaging containers, verify the bottom number of hazardous waste generated from waste packaging containers, supervise and guide enterprises to standardize storage, truthfully declare, and legally transfer, strictly crack down on illegal collection, transfer, dumping, and disposal of hazardous waste from waste packaging containers and other environmental illegal and criminal activities, and prevent environmental risks.

2、 Rectification scope

Special rectification will be carried out around four major industries: chemical raw material and chemical product manufacturing (including coating and ink manufacturing), packaging and printing, electronic manufacturing, and textile printing and dyeing.

3、 Work tasks

（1） Promoting rectification with a "full chain" thinking

Strengthen the linkage between daily supervision, environmental impact assessment approval, and law enforcement inspections, with a focus on verifying whether there are significant differences between the current situation of waste packaging barrels generated by enterprises and the environmental impact assessment predictions, and whether there are behaviors such as evading supervision under the guise of raw material recycling. For those that were not estimated in the environmental impact assessment or were estimated to be incorrect, the actual waste production situation should be used as the basis for enterprise reporting, and they should be reported on the provincial solid waste platform.

（2） Promoting rectification through "clarification" measures

Guide enterprises to carry out self inspection and self correction, among which, the quantity of hazardous waste generated from waste packaging containers is checked according to the raw material purchase order. If the environmental impact assessment approval of the raw material supply enterprise involves the recycling process of waste packaging containers, and this process includes processing techniques such as cleaning and incineration, the raw material supply enterprise should obtain a hazardous waste operation license for recycling raw material barrels in accordance with the law; If the recycled raw material barrel can be used for its original purpose without undergoing cleaning, incineration, or other processes, it may not be managed as hazardous waste, but relevant supporting materials must be provided to fully prove the legality of the recycling behavior of waste packaging containers.

（3） Conduct on-site inspections throughout the entire process

Urge enterprises to strictly prohibit selling hazardous waste in waste packaging containers to waste recyclers, or crushing them into flat shapes for storage and transportation. The self owned supporting bucket washing project must comply with relevant environmental protection procedures in accordance with the law, be equipped with corresponding treatment facilities, and be included as a key regulatory unit in supervision. Strictly crack down on waste recycling stations and second-hand refurbished bucket factories suspected of illegal and irregular collection and storage of hazardous waste in waste packaging containers; Trace the source of hazardous waste in the investigated waste packaging containers and investigate the responsibility of upstream waste producing units.

4、 Time arrangement

（1） Rectification and mobilization deployment phase

February 1st to April 30th, 2024

The Ecological Environment Bureau of Foshan City has issued a special rectification plan and guidance. Each branch of the Ecological Environment Bureau of Foshan City, in conjunction with the key points of rectification, has determined a list of priority enterprises, and together with the town and street, has carried out publicity and guidance, urging and guiding the disposal of hazardous waste from waste packaging containers to qualified units.

（2） Investigation and rectification stage

May 1st to October 31st, 2024

Promote a combination of online and offline methods, fully utilize the provincial solid waste environmental supervision information platform, and do a good job in data analysis. Enterprises that have signed contracts for the collection and transportation of hazardous waste barrels but have not collected or only transported a portion for a long time will be included in key supervision. Establish a list of illegal issues identified during the investigation and a time limit for rectification, and guide the enterprise to strengthen rectification.

Enterprises need to fill out a registration form for the generation and management of hazardous waste in scrapped packaging containers for spot checks.
