Soaps & Detergents Manufacturing
Hazardous Waste Management for Soap and Detergent Manufacturers
Simply Waste Consultants delivers specialist waste disposal for surfactant producers, detergent blenders, and contract manufacturing facilities across England, Scotland, and Wales. High-pH process waste and concentrated formulations require expert handling—we provide compliant management tailored to detergent production operations.
Soap & Detergents Manufacturing Waste Streams We Handle
Detergent production generates alkaline and surfactant-based waste streams. Our service manages:
Caustic soda and alkaline solutions
Concentrated surfactant waste
Fragrance oils and perfume compounds
Off-specification batches
Process equipment cleaning waste
Contaminated wash waters
Packaging and container waste
Classification and Compliance Support
Detergent waste often involves high-pH materials requiring careful classification. Our experienced team list and classify each waste stream accurately, ensuring proper handling of corrosive materials.
We handle all compliance requirements including:
Hazardous Waste Consignment Notes
pH and corrosivity assessment
EWC and HP code assignment
Environmental permit compliance
Notifications to Environment Agency, SEPA, and NRW
Collection and Transport
We coordinate scheduled collections through our network of licensed, ADR-compliant hauliers, aligned with production cycles and batch changeovers. Our haulier network includes vehicles suitable for high-pH liquid waste, operating nationwide across England, Scotland, and Wales.
Our collection capability ranges from single drum uplifts to full articulated loads. We handle small-scale collections of individual 205-litre drums, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), and palletised waste. For larger volumes, we arrange multi-pallet collections up to 24 pallets per load, plus bulk tanker services including alkali-resistant tankers for caustic solutions, surfactant waste, and high-pH process waters. Regular scheduled collections can be established for ongoing production waste, whilst ad-hoc uplifts accommodate batch failures, product recalls, and equipment cleaning cycles. Our specialist haulier network is experienced in handling corrosive materials safely with appropriate vehicle specifications and driver training.
