i. SW204, IETS Sludge

The IETS sludge generated from filter press. Incoming, which

is from production and compounding waste, will be treat into
IETS. The wastewater will undergo primary and tertiary
treatment. For primary treatment by using chemical treatment,
meanwhile, tertiary treatment by using activated carbon. After
undergo chemical treatment, floc formation will be produce
and will become sludge. Hence, this sludge will be pump into
sludge holding tank. Lastly, the sludge will transfer to filter
press for sludge dewatering system and will become sludge
cake (SW204). This dried sludge will be collect for disposal
purpose according to the DOE rules and regulations.

35
 Figure 30: Flow Diagram of IETS

ii. SW206, Spend Inorganic Acid

This scheduled waste mostly generated from R&D

department. After finished the experiment, these spent
inorganic acid will be collect and dispose as SW206.

36
 iii. SW321, Rubber Waste

During cleaning tank purpose from production and

compounding, they generate dilution of latex that already mix
with the water. After done cleaning, worker will add calcium
nitrate into polytank to make the latex become solid form. After
already, dried, latex lump will be collect for disposal purpose
according to the DOE rules and regulations.

Figure 31: Work Instruction of Latex Tank Cleaning

37
 iv. SW408, Contaminated Soil/Spill of Chemical

The contaminated soil will be generate during the spillage of

chemical happened. Any chemical spillage will be cover by
using sand, and then the contaminated sand will be disposed
as SW408.

v. SW411, Carbon Filter Media

This media will become as scheduled waste when doing the

service of carbon filter at IETS. Usually, the carbon filter will
be service every 7 months. During servicing, they will change
media of activated carbon and sand inside the carbon filter.
These scheduled wastes will be collected into jumbo bag and
send for disposal.

38
3.1.2 Packaging and Labelling of SW

All the scheduled waste generated by GMP Medicare Sdn.

Bhd. are packed and labelled properly according to their
physical and chemical properties in appropriate containers. In
doing so, we ensure that the containers used are compatible
with scheduled wastes as well as the compatibility between
different types of scheduled wastes. By following the Fourth
Scheduled (Regulation 2) of EQSWR 2005, page 281, all of
the five scheduled waste are compatible with each other and
can be stored in designated scheduled waste storage area.
On the other hand, according Regulation 9 (1) of EQSWR
2005, page 267, the containers being select for each
scheduled wastes has to be compatible, durable and able to
prevent spillage or leaking to the environment. Therefore, for
waste code of SW204, SW321, SW408 and SW411 jumbo bag
are use as the wastes are dry and compatible with the
container. Other than that, waste code for SW206 is stored in
containers 200L plastic drum. In addition, each of the
containers were label with appropriate label based on the
Third Scheduled (Regulation 10) of EQSWR 2005 of labelling
requirements.

3.1.3 Storage of SW

GMP Medicare Sdn Bhd had allocated certain areas in premise

for storage of scheduled waste that is away from production
activities. The storage by using container with dimension of 40’
x 8’ x 8.5’. The storage of scheduled waste is fenced in
transparent and roof condition.

44
Moreover, the storage of scheduled waste was stored not more
than 180 days from the date generate and does not exceed of
20 metric tons. In order to prevent any spillage, spill pallet was
use and place on top of pallet for containers and jumbo bags
of scheduled waste. This spill pallet will trap liquid waste if
there is spillage occur during filling of waste into containers or
wet sludge/lump. The containment tray will be clean regularly.

Figure 38: Spill Pallet as Secondary Containment

Inside the container, have spill kit and fire extinguisher if

anything emergency happen. Other than that, scheduled
waste storage house inspection checklist will be conduct for
every month.

48
By following the Fourth Schedule (Regulation 2) of EQSWR
2005, page 281, all of the schedule waste is compatible with
each other (can refer Waste Acceptance Criteria). Therefore,
all the scheduled waste can be stored in one area, just only do
segregation by labelling inside the container.

Figure 42: Segregation by Labelling inside Container

49
3.1.4 Transportation of SW

All of the five scheduled wastes are send for recovery and
disposal through licensed waste transporter. GMP Medicare
Sdn Bhd had used Nanotech Recovery Sdn Bhd as waste
transporter to collect SW204 and SW321. The Nanotech

3.2.2 Changes Instituted

There are many benefits after done all the modification and
changes of schedule waste, which are starting from labelling,
packaging, storage, transportation and recording of scheduled
waste.

Firstly, the operation can be more orderly and organized in

arranging of scheduled waste. For labelling, follows the
guideline in Third Scheduled (Regulation 10) and for
packaging follows Regulation 9. Moreover, staffs and workers
will have knowledge regarding illegal dumping, consequences
and impact to the environment. Other than that, management
can comply by following the Environment Quality Act.

3.3 IMPROVEMENT

3.3.1 Area of Improvement

 Staffs Awareness of Scheduled Waste

As previously, there are lack of awareness among worker

and staffs regarding scheduled waste management.
Therefore, initiative of awareness of scheduled waste
management had been conduct on August 2020. The
briefing involved overview of scheduled waste
management, identification and properties of hazardous
waste, environmental quality of regulation and legislation
and how to handle the scheduled waste.

Appendix B-3 shown the photo of session during staff

awareness of scheduled waste management.

 Training and Development

Training and development had conducted by me on

August 2020 at GMP Medicare Sdn. Bhd to staffs that
involved in Scheduled Waste of management including
following topics:

 Overall awareness on scheduled waste

management

 Scheduled waste storage area, handling,

packaging, labelling, transportation and disposal

74
  Scheduled waste inventory, consignment note
and etc.

 Record keeping of scheduled waste management

Appendix B-4 shows copy of a few slides presentation of

scheduled waste management

 Packaging and Labelling of Scheduled Waste

Before this, the scheduled waste not labelled properly

according to guidelines in EQWSR 2005. There is less
label specification of scheduled waste and information of
date and company address on the label packaging.
Therefore, I had made alteration to the labelling on
scheduled waste packaging following the guideline in
Third Scheduled (Regulation 10), page 276, labelling of
scheduled waste. The following information shows one
of the label of scheduled waste:

 Waste name: Rubber Waste

 Waste code: SW321

 Date first generated:

 Name, address and telephone number of

the company:

GMP MEDICARE SDN BHD (FACTORY 25)

Lot 4985, Jalan Dahlia / KU8, Kawasan
Perindustrian Meru Timur, 41050 Klang,
Selangor
0333926317

75
  Symbol sign: Label number 8 “Toxic
Substances (waste)”

Appendix B-5 shows label of scheduled waste SW321.

 Identify and Notify Scheduled Waste SW204

Before this, there is four waste of scheduled waste

generated by GMP Medicare Sdn Bhd. However, after
attended the CePSWAM training, I found out that waste
code of SW204 was namely same as SW321. The
difference is due as found inside the SW204 contain
metals materials and not detected rubber content. Thus,
I had notified the scheduled waste for waste code
SW204 on August 2020 through e-swis.

Appendix B-6 shows the copy of notification of scheduled

waste SW204.

3.3.2 Future Efforts

 Environmental Management System (EMS) Certification

There are only a few Top Glove company had been

certified with EMS certificate. For GMP Medicare Sdn Bhd
also towards EMS certification. We have to proactively
prevent environmental pollution by establishing EMS,
which can promote continual improvement in process,
technology and digitalization. By following the objectives
and performance target must efficient usage of raw
materials, natural resources and energy, dedicated of 5R’s
programs (Refuse, Reduce, Repair, Reuse and Recycle)
and proper waste management practices.

 Staffs Awareness of Scheduled Waste

Continuous overall awareness of scheduled waste to

staff about the scheduled waste. Make a briefing, attach
information on board and also training to new staff
especially production and R&D staff about the scheduled
waste including of what is scheduled waste, scheduled
waste generated by company, how to handle the
scheduled waste, packaging, labelling and storage of
scheduled waste. This is to ensure all staff fully aware
regarding the scheduled waste.

Appendix B-7 shows briefing to the new staffs regarding

IETS and scheduled waste management.

 CHAPTER 4

CONCLUSIONS

After attending the CePSWaM course, there are

improvements had been made in scheduled waste
managements during the field training within 12 months
at GMP Medicare Sdn Bhd. Improvements had been
made including in storage area scheduled waste where
has ventilation and also segregation of the scheduled
waste. Labelling for scheduled waste also had been
standardize by followed the guidelines in Third
Scheduled of EQSWR 2005. Furthermore, staffs more
aware and know the types of scheduled waste generated
by company, training, briefing and take precautions when
handling and transportation of scheduled waste to the
storage area.

In addition, currently, record keeping for the scheduled

waste management had been keep updated in record and
filing for more standardize and systematic which records
of scheduled wastes for three years. To ensure the
scheduled waste management effectiveness, continuous
meeting, training and updated information are done to the
staff so that they are more aware and had knowledge
about the scheduled waste management. Suggest as well
to enlarge the capacity of storage area as waste
generated keep increasing by year.
