J&G offer comprehensive site audits to help you manage your waste streams and to advise on matters such as containment and other key issues.
Quarterly Reports
If required, each quarter you will be sent an updated transaction history on all waste streams, plus any relevant J&G information including any changes in legislation.
Dangerous Goods Safety Advisors
From the 1st of January 2000, if you are involved in the packaging or shipping of any hazardous goods, whether waste or not, you will require a named 'Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor' (DGSA). We are fully qualified to fulfil you legal obligations.
Legal & Technical Advice
If we do not know the answer we probably know someone who does. Please contact our Customer Care Department who will endeavour to source the information you need. Maybe you have misplaced a consignment note? It is a legal requirement to retain your consignment notes, transfer notes and schedule copies. Copies of J&G documentation are available from J&G's head office.
Analytical Support
Quality checks, material analysis, independent testing or effluent monitoring are available.
Identifying Waste
The onus is on the waste producer, i.e. the printer or photographic processor, to identify the waste generated and assess whether it should be considered Special or Controlled Waste. Controlled Waste is any commercial or industrial waste including non-hazardous waste. Special Waste is any Controlled Waste which is considered hazardous under the "Special Waste Regulations 1996". Regulations are complex requiring every product to be identified by separate chemical components within the waste; the hazard and concentration of each component has to be assessed against prescribed thresholds.
Certain waste streams are still being reviewed by the Environment Agency to determine whether they may, in fact, be regarded as "Special". If in any doubt it is important to consult the chemical supplier, Environment Agency, or your waste management company for clarification. It is also important to note that in most cases, due to changes which take place during processing and dilution, printing and photographic waste is subject to change prior to disposal, therefore, the information supplied on the Manufacturers Health & Safety Data Sheet applies to the consigning of the waste material.
