Hazardous waste management deals with safe handling, treatment, and disposal of dangerous chemicals (toxic, flammable, radioactive, etc.). Techniques include chemical neutralization, incineration, and secure landfilling. Regulations (e.g., RCRA in the U.S.) mandate tracking and disposal standards to protect human health and the environment. Innovations include recycling solvents and recovering valuable metals for sustainable waste minimization.
