4) Regulate, limit, gradually phase-out, and ban those

chemical substances that are determined to pose
unreasonable risk to public health and environment
through the issuance of Chemical Control Order

HAZARDOUS WASTE
MANAGEMENT
 Provisions of Title III of RA 6969
HAZARDOUS WASTES MANAGEMENT
 Encourage proper management of hazardous wastes
through reduction, recycling & re-use, treatment and
landfilling of inert hazardous waste residues.
 Prohibit the entry, even in transit of hazardous wastes
and their disposal into the Philippine territorial limits.
 Management of hazardous wastes in a manner not to
cause pollution to the environment and harm to public
health and natural resources.
 Make waste generators responsible for management
and disposal of hazardous wastes and financially
responsible for the cost of proper storage, treatment,
and disposal of hazardous wastes they generate.
 What is Hazardous Waste?
Substances/Materials that are without any
safe commercial, industrial, agricultural or
economic usage

By-products, side-products, process

residues, spent reaction media,
contaminated plant or equipment or other
substances from manufacturing operations
and as consumer discards of manufactured
products which present unreasonable risk
and/or injury to health and safety and to
environment
 Characteristics of Hazardous Waste
Corrosive
Poisonous
Carcinogenic Acidic or Basic
Mutagenic Corrodes
Teratogenic Metals
Toxic
- Unstable
