Industrial waste is the waste produced by industrial activities.In Hong Kong, the waste divides into several difiierent types of waste:
Municipal Solid Waste(MSW) comprises solid waste from households, commercial and industrial sources. This excludes construction and demolition waste, chemical waste and other special waste. MSW is disposed of at landfills.
Construction Waste includes waste arising from such activities as construction, renovation, demolition, land excavation and road works. Ideally, the waste is seperated and inert material is used as fill in reclamation sites, when available. However, a significant portion of the waste still goes to landfills.
Chemical Waste comprises substances specified under the Waste Disposal (Chemical Waste) (General) Regulation as posing a possible risk to health and/or the environment.
Special wastes include clinical waste, animal carcasses, livestock waste, radioactive waste, grease trap waste and waterworks/sewerage sludges. These wastes need to be treated seperately. Some livestock waste is treated at the Sha Ling Composing Plant. Arrangements are being developed for the proper treatment and disposal of the other wastes, but more time is needed to address community concerns about such facilities.
Other solid waste comprises dredged mud and excavated disposed of at marine disposal sites.
