Traiter les contenants d’élimination défectueux d’un fournisseur. Êtes-vous prêt à prendre le contrôle de la situation ?

Understanding what has happened and assessing the consequences is crucial. It is necessary to check whether internal items have been affected by the damage to the packaging. Assess the damage to the environment and surroundings. Identify the social and economic damage. Only then can concrete action be taken.

Upon identifying the faulty containers, isolate them immediately to prevent damage or contamination. Document the issues thoroughly and contact the supplier, requesting repair or replacement. Assess the risks posed by the defects, prioritizing the most critical ones. If possible, repair the containers; if not, dispose of them safely, following environmental regulations. Investigate the root cause of the defects and, based on this, improve internal inspection and handling processes to prevent future issues. Finally, maintain communication with the supplier to ensure the problem is resolved.

When you find that you have bad containers (roll-off box, drums, totes, super sacks), get them out of circulation. If you are lucky you can get the vendor to take them back and refund you. But that is an issue for a different day. Make sure these bad items aren't used, because you are facing a situation where your waste can potentially spill onsite or during transit. Don't let this simple issue turn into a disaster.

They are kept away from waste streams to avoid contamination. Inform your team of the issue and provide instructions for safe handling. Regularly monitor the area to ensure no accidental use occurs
