What is chemically contaminated waste?

Chemically contaminated waste covers residual and expired chemicals, acids, bases, solvents, cleaning agents and materials contaminated with chemicals — all hazardous waste subject to strict rules. Different chemicals must never be mixed at random, as this can cause dangerous reactions. IAM identifies, classifies, packages and collects audit-proof.
