The technological regulation for waste utilization or disposal is mandatory for all companies that use or dispose of waste (e.g., incinerate, recycle, store, landfill, etc.).
The regulation is required if the company carries out activities that meet at least one of the following conditions:
Waste processing, storage, or disposal exceeds the quantities established by legal acts.
The company uses hazardous waste or manages hazardous waste.
Before starting to operate a new waste management facility or activity.
When changing an existing activity or facility in such a way that the nature or extent of waste management may change (e.g. increasing capacity, changing technology, starting to use new waste or raw materials).
When a company starts to meet new or changed criteria (e.g. the amount of waste increases, a new facility is installed, etc.).
A technological regulation for waste utilization and/or disposal is prepared and approved by the company’s manager.
The regulation becomes an integral part of the permit (e.g., an annex to the Pollution Permit or IPPC Permit).
The regulation sets specific conditions:
Which types of waste and what quantities can be utilized or disposed of.
Technologies, equipment, control and monitoring measures used.
Requirements for waste storage, acceptance, control, packaging, fire safety, and other aspects.
Material balance, generated waste, and emitted substances.
The regulation is periodically reviewed and updated (e.g., when activities, legislation, or monitoring data change).
