Preface

We are students from Semester 1 in Diploma of
Science, Session 2022/2023 who are on mission to
complete our first SSM1043 (Pengurusan, Keselamatan
dan Operasi Makmal Sains) assignment.

Throughout this e-book, we will learn more and
explain in detail some of the important facts about
schedule waste such as its definition, classification and
examples, ways to dispose, and impacts of improperly
disposed of schedule waste.

OUR AIMS FROM WRITING THIS E-BOOK ARE TO: -

1. ENHANCE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SCHEDULE
WASTE AMONG READERS

2. INCREASE SOCIETY AWARENESS IN MANY ASPECTS
REGARDING SCHEDULE WASTE

3. KNOW AND APPLY THE WAYS OF DISPOSING SCHEDULE
WASTE PROPERLY

4. DECREASE THE RISKS AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS RELATED
TO SCHEDULED WASTE

Definition

Scheduled waste is any waste that has
hazardous characteristics that have the
potential to negatively impact the public and
the environment. A total of 77 types of
scheduled waste are listed under the First
Schedule, Environmental Quality (Scheduled

Waste) Regulations 2005.

HOW TO DISPOSE

Under the Environmental Quality Act
(1974) Regulation 2005, every waste generator
shall ensure that the generated waste is properly
stored, treated on-site, recovered on-site, or
delivered to and received at prescribed
premises for treatment, disposal, or recovery of
material.

“Any matter whether in solid, semi-solid,
liquid form or in the form of gas or vapor,
which emitted, discharged or deposited in the
environment in such volume, composition or
manner need to be disposed properly to prevent
pollution”.

GUIDELINE OF SCHEDULE WASTE
MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION

Under Regulation 7 (1), Environmental Quality
(Scheduled Waste) Regulation 2005, a waste
generator may apply to the Director General, in
writing, to exclude the scheduled wastes
generated from their particular facility or
process from being treated, disposed of or

recovered at the prescribed premises.

The general requirements for the
application are described in these

guidelines.

18 SCHEDULE WASTE

For the application to be considered,
scheduled waste generators must
demonstrate that the waste meets all

the following conditions:

i. Does not exhibit any of the

hazardous characteristics -
corrosivity, ignitability,
reactivity, and toxicity, as

ii. defined in Appendix I; and

Has been proven by scientific studies or tests on its
toxicity and carcinogenicity and does not have

hazardous effects on humans or other life forms as
specified in Appendix II, in concentration that is equal

to, or exceeds the percentage limits (percentage
weights) specified in Appendix III.

A generator/ applicant shall submit reports,
records, or journals to prove that the waste does

not exhibit any of the elements mentioned.

SCHEDULE WASTE 19

The applicant shall provide the information as required
in AS WM 1/2005 form together with a processing fee of RM

300.00 which is not refundable (Appendix IV)

RESPONSIBILITY

Every waste generator shall ensure that scheduled wastes
generated by him are properly stored, treated on-site,
recovered on-site for material or product from such

scheduled wastes, or delivered to and received at prescribed
premises for treatment, disposal, or recovery of material or

product from scheduled wastes.

22 SCHEDULE WASTE

Every waste generator shall ensure that
scheduled wastes that are subjected to movement

or transfer be packaged, labeled, and
transported following the guidelines prescribed by

the Director General.

SCHEDULE WASTE 23

undergoing the

treatment process

Treatment and Disposal

Processes and extracts certain
useful materials from solvent, oil,

acids, or metals which may be
reused.

OIL
RECOVERY

MINERAL OIL & OIL EMULSION
USING OIL WATER SEPARATION

METHODS SUCH AS GRAVITY
SEPARATION, COALESCENCE

SEPARATION, EMULSION
SPLITTING, ULTRAFILTRATION,

AND AIR FLOTATION.

AFTER THE OIL-WATER SEPARATION PROCESS,
SOME WASTE OIL WILL STILL BE PRESENT. THE

WASTE OIL WILL THEN BE REFINED USING
DISTILLATION OR ACID/CLAY TO PRODUCE OIL
THAT CAN BE REUSED FOR GENERAL PURPOSES

SUCH AS TIMBER PRESERVATIVE AND LOW-
GRADE GREASE OR LUBRICANT.

A PROCESS CALLED PHOTOFINISHING WASTES,

RECOVER SOLDER FROM ELECTRONIC

SOLDER DROSS. WASTES GO THROUGH A
PROCESS CALLED

ELECTRONIC METAL
RECOVERY TO EXTRACT
SILVER, NICKEL, CHROMIUM,
PLATINUM, PALLADIUM,

COPPER, AND OTHER
PRECIOUS METALS.

SCHEDULE WASTE 25

The recovery of waste and by-products is
increasingly important at an economic level.
The main reason is that the use of recovered
materials, from the process itself or other
processes, represents a very important cost
reduction compared to the purchase of new

raw materials.

impactS of
improperly disposed
of schedule waste

MAY CAUSE WATER
SERIOUS POLLUTION
NEGATIVE
IMPACTS Raises the toxicity of the
water, making freshwater

unsafe for human
consumption

LOWER
BIODIVERSITY



With fewer different species,
diseases have an easier time
traveling, and leaving fewer

species that can survive
environmental changes.

SCHEDULE WASTE 27

INFECTIOUS
DISEASES

Skin irritations, blood infections, respiratory
problems, growth problems, and even
reproductive issues

CLIMATE
CHANGE

Waste contributes to the gases that thicken
the ozone layer.
Worsens the weather and melts the ice caps,
raising the sea level and negatively impacting
natural habitats and the homes of billions of
people.
EXTREME WEATHER: noticeable increase
in disasters like tornadoes and floods

28 SCHEDULE WASTE

LOSS OF
HABITATS

Waste contributes to global climate change,
which changes the size of the habitats animals
need to survive.
A decreasing habitat size drives species like
polar bears to extinction as they attempt
migrations out of the areas.

ANIMAL AND
MARINE DEATH




Improper waste disposal directly leads to the
extinction of many species every day, causing
permanent damage to ecosystems across the

globe.
