Abstract

Hazardous waste (HW) management represents a central aspect of the environmental performance of industrial establishments in Egypt. In response to the need for monitoring this performance and the progress of industries in managing their HW, sets of HW indicators have been developed within the larger scope of environmental performance indicators for industry. The HW indicators address three themes: compliance to regulations, HW generation, and cleaner production. These indicators are presented together with the bases for their development. Opportunities for their use, particularly as a decision-making support tool, and challenges facing their application, are also presented.
