• To prevent or minimize the discharges and emissions into the Environment.
⁃ From the prescribed activities in the Gazette No.1533/16
⁃ In compliance with the national discharge and emission standard
5
• To develop an approach to Pollution Control though Best Practicable Environmental Options (BPEO)
(Current thinking of BAT and BATANEEC)
⁃ Consider discharge to all media (air, water, land)
⁃ In the context of the effect on the environment as a whole.
6
a) Environmental Protection License For activities Prescribed in the Regulation No.
1533/16 dated 25.01.2008 should obtain an Environmental Protection License(EPL) in order to deposit, discharge or emit any waste in to the environment
According to the scale of Pollution these activities are in 3 categories as A,B and C

The quality of the waste (Waste water, Air Emissions and Noise) generated by these activities
Should conform to the standards stipulated conform to the standards stipulated in the regulation published in the Gazette in the regulation published in the Gazette Extra Ordinary No. 1534/18 of 1Extra Ordinary No. 1534/18 of 1stst February February 20082008

environmental and health effects by entering these chemicals in to the environment.
Open burning of e-waste can form carcinogenic gases such as Dioxin and Furans.
Corporate e-waste Management Program is being implemented.
E-waste and waste CFL bulbs can be handed over to licensed E-waste collectors for the recycling purposes.

Lack of technical expertise knowledge for overall HW Management.
Absences of environmentally sound final disposal facility.
Only facility in Sri Lanka is Holcim Cement kiln for co-processing (thermal destruction)
Lack of adequate testing facilities for Identification & Classification.
Nonavailability of proper insurance scheme to cover the risk arise during handling of HW
Lack of resources (Financial & Technical) 45
Co-processing Using the cement manufacturing process to recycle, reuse, or treat waste while simultaneously manufacturing cement in a single combined operation.
Features Flame temperatures 1800 - 20000 C Residence time 4-6 sec. Total destruction of material under
controlled conditions. No organic residues from the
process.

• 2009 Higher Alternative Fuel(AF) volumes co-processed with clinker capacity increase - stepping in to industrial non hazardous waste.
• 2010 onwards – penetrate more and more in to industrial waste mainly targeting hazardous waste (e.g.: expired pharmaceuticals, sludge, pesticide waste,…) and introduction of Alternative Raw Materials.
