Waste
Atkore's hazardous waste management practices support our ability to reduce waste from our business activities and minimize our planet-focused footprint.
All Atkore sites adhere to the ordinances established by local law and reinforced by the Safety and Environment Management Systems (SEMS). Additional instruction for employees regarding proper waste separation and management for reuse, hazard identification, and data tracking for hazardous waste transportation can be found in our International Waste Handling Standard, Secondary Containment Standard, and Occupational Health, Safety and Environmental Sustainability Policy. Our approach to hazardous waste management is reviewed as part of the regular SEMS assessment process.
Atkore utilizes the EPA definition of “Hazardous Waste” under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act to inform waste management practices across our global locations. Chemicals used for surface preparation, coating on metal products, and passivation after coating make up the majority of our hazardous waste materials. Our global standard helps us to identify, label, and manage hazardous wastes and ensure their safe handling. Atkore employees who manage hazardous waste receive training annually to ensure compliance and maintain a safe planet.
Additional information regarding our practices around waste management and recycling related to our products is available in the Product Life Cycle section.
