Do I use chemicals? Could this lead to the production of hazardous waste? How do I classify my waste?

Hazardous waste

Inert waste

Any waste that does not undergo any significant physical, chemical or biological change, does not decompose, does not burn, does not produce any physical or chemical reaction, is not biodegradable and does not deteriorate the materials with which it comes into contact in a way likely to cause harm to the environment or human health.

Non-hazardous waste
