If this kind of waste is disposed of immediately without being treated in a sewage treatment plant, the waste will pollute the environment. Unfortunately, not a few companies deliberately ignore waste management regulations. Many of them prefer to dispose of hazardous waste for reasons of cost savings. Yet if this is done, the company will also suffer losses. The following sanctions also await.
