What are Hazardous Wastes?

substances that are without any safe commercial,

industrial, agricultural or economic usage and are

shipped, transported or brought from the country of

origin for dumping or disposal into or in transit

through any part of the territory of the Philippines

by-products, side-products, process residues, spent

reaction media, contaminated plant or equipment

or other substances from manufacturing operations

and as consumer discards of manufactured

products which present unreasonable risk and/or

injury to health and safety and to the environment

2. The classification of hazardous wastes is updatedto include, among others, Waste Electrical andElectronic Equipment (WEEE), vegetable oil, andspecial wastes under RA 9003.

3. Waste generators are classified into small,medium and large generators depending on thevolume and type of wastes generated.

In summary, the improvements made in DAO 2013-22 are:

4. The use of an on-line manifest system isintroduced to strengthen tracking and monitoringof hazardous wastes.

4. Categories of Treatment, Storage and Disposal(TSD) facilities are updated to include MaterialsRecovery Facilities (MRFs).

6. Minimum considerations for siting and post-closure of TSD facilities are included.

7. Chapters on Contingency Program, PersonnelTraining and Monitoring are added.

SUMMARY

Generators, Transporters and Treatment, Storage and Disposal (TSD) Facilities must register with EMB and have the necessary environmental permits.

Transport of hazardous waste from the generator premises to the TSD facility is covered by a Permit-to-Transport and accompanied by a manifest.

Maria Leonie Lynn H. RuizHazardous Waste Management Section

Environmental Quality DivisionEnvironmental Management Bureau

Department of Environment and Natural Resources

Import of hazardous wastes intended for disposal is prohibited. Import of recyclable materials containing hazardous substances intended for recycling and recovery may be allowed subject to the requirements of EMB and the Basel Convention.

Export of hazardous wastes shall comply with the requirements of EMB and the Basel Convention.

In particular, the following violations were committed:

DENR Administrative Order (DAO) 28, series of 1994 (Interim Guidelines for the Importation of Recyclable Materials Containing Hazardous Substances)

Limiting condition as provided in Annex A, Category 2 of DAO 1994-28 which allows importation of solid plastic materials with the condition that “no importation of heterogeneous and assorted scrap plastic materials shall be allowed”.

Maria Leonie Lynn H. RuizHazardous Waste Management Section

Environmental Quality DivisionEnvironmental Management Bureau

Department of Environment and Natural Resources

Republic Act 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000)

Section 1. Prohibited Acts, Par. l) – Importation of toxic wastes misrepresented as recyclable or with recyclable content.

The above cited violations are also considered Illegal Traffic pursuant to Article 9 of the Basel Convention considering that there was misrepresentation or fraud committed by the exporter .

Maria Leonie Lynn H. RuizHazardous Waste Management Section

It is provided in Section 10.2.3 of DAO 2013-22 that “It is the responsibility of the exporter to retrieve/return the waste when denied entry by the Government of the Philippines”.

DENR’s position is to ship back the waste to Canada at the expense of the exporter.
