Find out how we can support you in the management of your hazardous waste.
The legislation: what changes for the wellness sector
Thanks to the “Connected Environment” (published on 18 January 2016), beauticians, hairdressers, tattoo artists and piercers benefit from important bureaucratic simplifications. The management of special hazardous waste , regulated by the Consolidated Environmental Act (Legislative Decree 152/2006), has been made simpler and more accessible for these categories thanks to the provisions introduced, which have streamlined the procedures without compromising the high standards of environmental and health safety.
Among the hazardous waste produced by these activities, those considered priority are defined by the EWC Code 180103 and include:
- Disposable needles, syringes and scalpels;
- Blades, glasses, hands and finger;
- Disposable shaver heads.
These materials, being at risk of infection, require specific treatment to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
The methods of disposal of special waste
We offer solutions for both options provided for by the legislation:
1. Own account disposal
You can transport up to 30 kg per day of hazardous waste directly to authorised disposal facilities. In this case, you need to:
- Register in the Register of Environmental Managers through a simplified procedure;
- Pay an annual fee.
As part of our service, we guide you through the paperwork process for registration, handling all the necessary documentation.
2. Entrustment to authorized companies
At Eurocorporation, we are a certified company specialising in the collection and disposal of hazardous waste . With our intervention, we take care of safe transport and compliant disposal, freeing you from any operational worries.
Bureaucratic simplifications for companies
Companies in the wellness sector can now count on significant reductions in administrative obligations:
- Loading and unloading register: it is no longer mandatory.
- Single Environmental Declaration Model (MUD): eliminated.
The only requirement is the compilation and storage in chronological order of the waste identification forms. These forms, available at the Chamber of Commerce, must be stamped (at no additional cost) and kept at the company headquarters.
Thanks to our consultancy, we support you in the management of these documents to ensure compliance with current regulations.
Safe handling of sharps and prickly waste
For the handling of needles, scalpels and other sharp or pricking instruments, it is essential to take the following measures:
- Use rigid puncture-resistant disposable containers with appropriate dimensions;
- Avoid compressing waste or reusing needles and syringes;
- Do not mix other waste (e.g. gloves) in sharps containers;
- Seal the containers once they have reached 3/4 of the volume and dispose of them through authorized facilities.
Eurocorporation provides approved containers and assists customers in adopting correct procedures to ensure safety and compliance.
Risks and penalties for non-compliance with regulations
Non-compliant waste management can result in heavy penalties, as established by Article 256 of the Consolidated Environmental Act:
- Arrest: from 6 months to 2 years;
- Fines: from €2,600 to €26,000 for hazardous waste.
