Many manufacturing businesses produce off spec chemicals as a result of their activities. Off-specification products range from simple cleaning products to complex and costly intermediates used in pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis. These are simply a surplus in the company that probably arose because a certain product is no longer needed in the business, contaminated, or does not meet certain specifications. Regardless of the reason, these products should be disposed in the right way.

Despite the fact that these goods may be of no use to an individual, someone else may be very much in need of them. It is for this reason that people should find out from others if they could be in need. Some people have used such products like used oil to treat stagnant water ponds to hinder insect like mosquito from breeding therein.

These products can be reclaimed or reformulated to be used for the previously intended purpose. So what you should do is to contact the manufacturer or a supplier about these products and find out if they can be used instead of just disposing them. They will help you manage them safely with maximum value in mind.

There are other options of disposal like burning the item to use it as fuel. Whenever one opts for this method to discard such commodities, uttermost caution must be exercised as some of them could be highly inflammable that can result to accidents causing injury to people or damage to property. Adequate studies should also be conducted to ensure the safety of fumes or smoke that may result from such fires. If they can cause adverse effect or are found to be pollutants to the environment then the method should be avoided.

There are hazardous waste rules that should be followed in the disposing of these products. These rules ensure protection of the environment, humans and animals. Evaluation must be done on these products to categorize them into different groups. This way, the person disposing these products is in a position of knowing what is harmful and what is not. In addition to this, if the products are to be disposed, then proper ways of disposing these products are determined.

Such evaluation is also important in that it will tell if the chemical can be reclaimed or not be used in any way. At this point, special arrangements to discard the chemical appropriately should be considered. Because this might not be a material to be taken to the dustbin or washed down the drain given its composition and possibility of un-desired effects.

A recycler should possess a permit. This ensure that every handler of these products are responsible and that they adhere to hazardous waste disposal rules. This include not only what is done at the site but also during transportation of these products.

Handlers of off spec chemicals are obliged to adhere to very high safety standards. This is because their chemicals are capable of impacting negatively on other people. They are required to keep well maintained clear and detailed records and even manifest their cargo while on transit. An individual is allowed a specific capacity to handle that he must not exceed without authority.
