Hazardous waste

All hazardous waste must be declared. UiB practices a zero discharge to drain. In other words, NO hazardous chemicals or environmentally harmful substances should be flushed into the sink.

Problematic waste

Problematic waste is to be disposed in accordance to the university's guidelines and local procedures.

Radioactive waste

Ionising radiation sources must be disposed of in varying ways depending on the type of radiation source.

Explosive waste

Explosive waste has to be handled with special attention and care. Explosive compounds cannot be disposed as hazardous waste, they have to be destructed.
