Abstract
A classification system for industrial processing wastes was developed based on waste stream characteristics, materials components, and chemical composition. An associated inventory form was devised for systematic reporting of a variety of waste descriptors including physical form, composition, methods of handling, treatment and disposal, and potential for reuse. The system was developed by literature review, consultations, and site visits. It is intended for application to industrial waste surveys and to the preparation of statistical summaries of parameters pertinent to solid waste management. The system is adaptable to computer storage and retrieval of information related to reuse potential and disposability of industrial wastes. It is designed to cover all industries of the SIC codes, and has been tested on a broad representation of processing waste streams in a large number of industries.
