What is Trade Waste?

Trade waste refers to wastewater generated from commercial, industrial, and business operations that must undergo specialised treatment before disposal to meet regulatory standards and protect the environment. Unlike domestic waste, trade waste is often complex and may contain pollutants that require thorough monitoring and careful treatment.

Industries such as Hospitality (hotels, restaurants, cafes), Healthcare (hospitals, clinics, labs), Commercial (breweries, laundries, food processing), Industrial (factories, processing plants), and Construction (sites with runoff and waste materials) frequently produce waste. Hinco, an authorised Water Corporation service provider, supports businesses with all aspects of compliance, including system setup, documentation, reporting, and signoff, giving you complete confidence in meeting trade waste regulations.
