Hazardous waste transporters play a crucial role in the hazardous waste management system. They move hazardous waste from one site to another using various modes of transportation, including highway, rail, water, or air. Here are some key points about hazardous waste transportation:
Who Is Regulated?:
- Definition: A hazardous waste transporter is any person engaged in the off-site transportation of hazardous waste within the Qatar.
- Scope: Transporter regulations apply to shipments from a hazardous waste generator’s facility to another facility for treatment, storage, or disposal (TSDF). They do not apply to on-site transportation within a facility’s property or boundary.
- Examples: Transporter requirements apply to shipments between noncontiguous properties that require travel on public roads.
Requirements for Transporters:
- EPA Identification (ID) Number: Each transportation company must obtain an EPA ID number. Transporters cannot move hazardous waste without this number.
- Manifest System: Transporters use EPA’s hazardous waste manifest system to track waste from the generator to the off-site facility.
- Compliance with Regulations: Transporters must adhere to regulations .
- Cleanup Responsibility: Transporters are responsible for cleaning up any hazardous waste discharge during transportation.
Remember, safe and compliant hazardous waste transportation ensures environmental protection and public safety!

Electronic waste (e-waste) is the fastest growing solid waste stream globally. Every year, millions of electrical and electronic devices become obsolete and are discarded. These discarded devices, including computers, mobile phones, and household appliances, are considered e-waste. If not treated, disposed of, and recycled appropriately, e-waste can become a threat to the environment and human health.
Here are some key facts about e-waste:
Scale of the Problem:
- E-waste is increasing three times faster than the world’s population.
- In 2019, approximately 53.6 million tones of e-waste were produced globally, but only 17.4% was formally collected and recycled.
- E-waste contains valuable and finite resources that can be reused if recycled appropriately.
Environmental Impact:
- When e-waste is treated using inferior methods, it can release as many as 1000 different chemical substances into the environment, including harmful neurotoxicants like lead.
- Pregnant women and children are particularly vulnerable due to their unique pathways of exposure and developmental status.
Challenges and Risks:
- Children in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face significant risks due to inadequate regulations, recycling infrastructure, and training.
- Despite international regulations, illegal transboundary movement of e-waste to LMICs continues.
Safe Disposal and Recycling:
- E-waste should not be put in regular rubbish or recycling bins.
- Find your closest e-waste drop-off point using the Recycling Near You directory.
- Proper disposal ensures environmental protection and prevents harm to human health.
Remember, responsible e-waste management is crucial for a sustainable future!
