requirements with regards to waste management as follows:

 
The Project must strive to avoid the generation of hazardous and non-hazardous 
waste materials and reduce their harmfulness as far as practicable. Where waste 
generation cannot be avoided, the waste must be reused, recycled or recovered, 
or used it as a source of energy. Where waste cannot be recovered or reused, the 
waste must be treated and disposed of it in an environmentally sound manner; 
 
The Project must identify technically and financially feasible alternatives for the 
environmentally sound disposal of any hazardous waste considering the limitations 
applicable to trans boundary movement; and
 
When waste disposal is transferred offsite and/or conducted by third parties, chain 
of custody documentation to the final destination must be obtained and only 
contractors that are reputable and legitimate enterprises licensed by the relevant 
regulatory agencies must be commissioned. The Project must ascertain whether 
licensed disposal sites are being operated to acceptable standards. Where this is 
not the case, alternative disposal options must be considered, including the 
possibility of the Project developing its own recovery and disposal facilities at the 
project site. 
ADB
The Environmental Safeguard requires the borrower/client to avoid, or where avoidance is not 
possible, to minimise or control the generation of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes and 
the release of hazardous materials resulting from project activities. Where waste cannot be 
recovered or reused, it will be treated, destroyed, and disposed of in an environmentally sound 
manner. 
Where the waste disposal is conducted by third parties, the borrower/client is required to use 
reputable and legitimate enterprises licensed by the relevant regulatory agencies.

Section 1.6 of “the IFC General EHS Guidelines” is titled Waste Management and is applicable 
to all projects that generate, store or handle any quantity of waste; whilst Section 1.5 of the 
IFC EHS Guidelines covers Hazardous Materials Management. The waste management 
guidelines state that facilities that generate and store wastes should practice the following: 
 
Establish waste management priorities at the outset of activities; 
 
Identify EHS risks and impacts and consider waste generation and its 
consequences; 
 
Establish a waste management hierarchy that considers prevention, reduction, 
reuse, recovery, recycling, removal and finally disposal of wastes; 
 
Avoid or minimize the generation of waste materials, as far as practicable; 
 
Identify where waste generation cannot be avoided but can be minimized or 
where opportunities exist for, recovering and reusing waste; and 
 
Where waste cannot be recovered or reused, identify means of treating, 
destroying, and disposing of it in an environmentally sound manner.
