tbl_Definition:
Disposal of waste means operations which do not lead to the possibility of resource recovery, recycling, reclamation, direct re-use or alternative uses of hazardous waste as defined in Annex IV(A) of the Basel Convention.

Environmentally sound manner means taking all practical steps to ensure that wastes are collected, transported, and disposed of (including after-care of disposal sites) in a manner which will protect human health and the environment against the adverse effects which may result from such wastes [UNEP(DEPI)/MED IG. 20/8 and Basel Convention (Article 2:8)]. For POPs, this means disposed of in such a way that the persistent organic pollutant content is destroyed or irreversibly transformed so that they do not exhibit the characteristics of persistent organic pollutants, or otherwise disposed of in an environmentally sound manner when destruction or irreversible transformation does not represent the environmentally preferable option, or the persistent organic pollutant content is low, taking into account international rules, standards, and guidelines and relevant global and regional regimes governing the management of hazardous waste and the Basel Convention. 

Industrial hazardous waste disposed in environmentally sound manner is computed based on the following equation:

D = Q + I – E – S

where:

D = disposed quantity of industrial hazardous waste in environmentally sound manner.
Q = total generated quantity of industrial hazardous waste.
I = imported quantity of hazardous waste for environmentally sound disposal.
E = exported quantity of hazardous waste for environmentally sound disposal.
S = stockpiled quantity of hazardous stored on site under controlled or uncontrolled conditions.
