Waste

Uralchem stands for the rational use of raw materials and the reduction of production and consumption waste generation. The Company's facilities take measures aimed at recycling waste and reducing the amount of hazardous waste generated. Uralchem's waste management activities, including hazardous waste management, are regulated by a number of internal documents.

The key environmental activities related to waste management are as follows:

decommission and dispose of electrical equipment containing persistent organic pollutants
reduce hazardous waste generation by replacing mercury, mercury-quartz and fluorescent lamps with LED lamps
create waste accumulation sites taking into account the current requirements of environmental legislation
collect waste separately at accumulation sites
transfer part of the waste for neutralisation and disposal to third parties
Azot Branch is authorised to neutralise waste (waste oils, wastes containing petroleum products) based on a valid license
