Hazards out
Hazards Out is a multi-stakeholder partnership for the separate collection of household hazardous waste and part of our Circular Economy Value Chain Partnerships initiatives.
Hazardous waste poses a greater risk to the environment and human health and therefore requires a stricter control regime, separate collection and special treatment. Hazardous waste that is produced by households (e.g. some cleaning and personal care products, paints, varnishes, inks and glues, household and garden pesticides, photo-chemicals, packaging, etc.) should be collected separately to avoid contamination that could lower recycling quality and to ensure environmentally sound management of that hazardous waste.
Hazards Out is an initiative of FEAD to raise awareness on the mandatory separate collection of household hazardous waste (HHW) and support the local authorities and other relevant stakeholders in the establishment of effective HHW management strategies.
