On May 15, 黑料不打烊 put forth its for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency鈥檚 (EPA) proposal to expand the universal waste regulations to include non-empty aerosol cans. Recognizing that aerosol cans are often the only hazardous waste stream produced on a construction site, this proposal could change a company鈥檚 status as a 鈥済enerator鈥 and reduce program costs and facilitate recycling.
黑料不打烊 further suggested that EPA allow flexibility to very small quantity generators (VSQG) to treat aerosol cans as either universal waste or to follow the existing VSQG regulations. 黑料不打烊 also recommended that EPA create a single regulatory structure for aerosol cans that allow non-hazardous, non-intact, and intact aerosol cans to be managed together as universal waste.
