Minimizing waste and recycling is an important part of Zircatec’s waste management program. Where possible, recoverable scrap is reprocessed back into the product chain. A comprehensive waste management program is in place to control the disposal of solid wastes and liquid hydrocarbon wastes contaminated by radioactive materials. All solids are decontaminated where possible.
Through a program of segregation, monitoring and compaction, the volume of waste being generated is controlled. All hazardous wastes are removed for disposal by a licensed waste hauler in compliance with the applicable regulations.
