In FY12, CCC handled hazardous wastes on behalf of its customers, including solid NOS (chlorine, sulphur), a class 9 waste, resulting from cleaning residue from its intermediate bulk container catalyst bins used in the packaging of petrochemical refining products.
CCC uses a third party to dispose of its hazardous waste, where it is used as a fuel source, replacing coal and natural gas in cement kilns. This is a safe and effective method of recovering energy from waste and conserving natural resources. Waste is normally processed and destroyed within five to six days of receipt, confirmed by a certificate of disposal. The empty metal containers used to transport the waste are processed through container decontamination, with a certificate of recycling issued to CCC for the containers or volume of metal recycled.
CCC is considered a large quantity generator and reports waste summaries to relevant environmental departments as required.. No waste fitting this criteria was shipped internationally by Brambles businesses during FY12.
