Ep. 19 | Hazardous Waste Compliance for Print Operations | Production Foundations with Xon Post

Hazardous waste management is about more than disposal—it impacts safety, compliance, operational risk, and cost control. In this Production Foundations episode, Zan Post of Clean Earth and Teresa Campbell discuss hazardous waste handling, employee training, waste classification, documentation requirements, and common mistakes that can create regulatory and financial challenges. Learn how print and packaging companies can improve compliance, reduce risk, and make more informed decisions about waste management practices.

The conversation explores waste profiling, storage requirements, manifest documentation, employee training, beneficial reuse opportunities, and the importance of understanding SDS information before making disposal decisions. Zan and Teresa also share examples of how proper waste classification can reduce costs while supporting environmental responsibility. Plant managers, operations leaders, and environmental compliance personnel will gain practical guidance for managing waste streams more effectively.
