Where substances are not able to be recycled or disposed of in New Zealand they are known as Intractable. These intractable products include Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), some pesticides, halogenated solvents, and Poly- & Per- Fluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS) firefighting foams. The substances are packed and shipped to our disposal partners in Australia and Europe. These facilities undertake the high temperature incineration of these products. WM Technical Services is the industry expert in hazardous waste export which is governed closely by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and Basel & Stockholm Conventions.
