Hazardous Waste Authorisation (NOC) Services in India

Obtaining a Hazardous Waste Authorisation is mandatory for any industrial or commercial unit that generates, stores, handles, transports, treats, or disposes of hazardous waste. Under the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management & Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016, waste that is toxic, corrosive, reactive, flammable, or environmentally harmful must be managed only with valid approval from the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB).

This approval—often referred to as a Hazardous Waste NOC— is a legal prerequisite for conducting hazardous waste storage, treatment, recycling, or disposal activities in India.
Simplicomp Tech LLP provides end-to-end support for Hazardous Waste Authorisation, ensuring accurate regulatory classification, complete documentation, and smooth coordination with Pollution Control Board authorities.

What Is Hazardous Waste Authorisation?

Hazardous Waste Authorisation is a statutory permit issued by the Pollution Control Board that allows facilities to legally generate, store, transport, recycle, treat, or dispose of hazardous waste in accordance with environmental laws.

It governs :-

Classification of hazardous waste under regulatory schedules
Safe storage, packaging, and labeling requirements
Transportation and manifest compliance
Disposal through authorised TSDFs, recyclers, or co-processors
Pollution prevention, environmental safeguards, and occupational safety

This approval ensures that hazardous waste is managed in a controlled, traceable, and environmentally responsible manner.

Chemical, pharmaceutical, and paint manufacturing units
