The treatment is essential to change the chemical, physical, and biological character of the waste in order to make it less fatal for the environment. Proper treatment further helps in recovering energy or any useful material resources from the waste, neutralizing it, and making the waste safer enough to transport, store, and dispose off. There are various hazardous waste disposal company which treats hazardous waste such as chemical oxidation, vitrification, incineration, biological treatment and many more with the help of latest technologies. The most common method is incineration. Storage Hazardous waste is stored temporarily prior to treatment or disposal. Hazardous waste is not an ordinary waste.
