Hazardous Waste Management and Reduction Plan
I. PURPOSE AND AUTHORIZATION
A. The purpose of this waste plan is to provide instruction to all scientists generating hazardous waste
in Amyris in order to meet all city, County, State and Federal hazardous waste management
regulations (see references A and B).
B. This plan has been authorized by representatives from the Executive Safety Team and the Director
of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS).
II. OVERVIEW OF REGULATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
A. The Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act established the framework for hazardous
waste regulations. This act introduced the concept that the generator of waste (Amyris) is
responsible for proper waste management from “cradle-to-grave” (in other words, from laboratory
to disposal site). The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) regulates the
Hazardous Waste Program in California. The city of Emeryville and Alameda County have, in turn,
been authorized to implement parts of the Hazardous Waste Program. Thus, City, County, State,
and Federal regulators all have jurisdiction over hazardous waste management at Amyris.
B. It is the responsibility of the department manager or supervisor to oversee compliance within their
assigned areas. It is the responsibility of the research staff to perform the procedures outlined in
this waste plan. In addition, the manager is responsible for minimizing waste, ensuring the correct
characterization of the laboratory waste as well proper disposal of the waste. Managers must allow
employees to be properly trained.
C. Employees are responsible for ensuring that chemicals are disposed in the properly labeled/dated
containers that all containers are closed after filling, and that secondary containments are used for
the waste. They are responsible for understanding general emergency protocols in case of a spill.
D. It is the responsibility of the EHS Department to develop and implement a hazardous waste plan
and provide training to promote compliance with the plan. EHS representatives will provide
assistance to scientists to characterize their waste and to assist in waste minimization, pollution
prevention, and disposal. In addition, EHS is responsible for ensuring all waste manifests are
retained and that all waste streams have updated profiles. EHS is responsible for sending out the
signed copies of the manifest to the applicable state agency and paying state regulatory fees. EHS
is responsible for coordinating waste pickup and storage as well as ensuring that all waste is
appropriately labeled, dated and within correct storage limits.
III. TRAINING AND DOCUMENTATION
A. Every employee who generates hazardous chemical waste must be trained yearly. Amyris is
committed to the required annual training for all “generators” and relies upon the manager or
supervisor to ensure their staff is in compliance with all applicable training requirements. See
Appendix B for Training program.
B. Only employees trained and certified by OSHA HAZWOPER standards (29 CFR 1910.120) are
allowed to clean up larger spills of Hazardous Waste which present imminent danger. Evidence of
HAZWOPER training, if available, will be retained by Amyris EHS. If such training is not in evidence,
spill cleanup must be carried out using a certified Decon company.
Amyris, Inc (HWMP SAF00008) Rev. C 3/1/2018 Page 4 of 19
C. Job descriptions will be maintained for individuals with primary responsibilities toward hazardous
waste collection and storage.
D. Only certified waste haulers are authorized to transport hazardous waste from the Amyris facility.
Amyris will maintain a copy of this certification.
IV. WASTE CHARACTERIZATION
A. General Characterization
A waste is defined as a material that has no intended use or reuse. A material does not become
a waste until the scientist has determined the material is no longer useful. For example, an
effluent container attached to equipment such as an HPLC is not necessarily waste unless the
generator has determined that there will be no use for the material.
The scientist responsible for generating the waste and is responsible for adequately identifying and
labeling the waste. EHS cannot accept unidentified or unlabeled wastes. If there are any
questions or uncertainties regarding how or where to dispose of hazardous chemical waste, contact
EHS.
B. A material can become a waste by several methods, including but not limited to:
1. A by-product of a process
2. Expiration date exceeded
3. Nonconforming material (off-specification)
4. Excess material
5. Mistaken order
6. No longer needed
C. Types of Waste Streams at Amyris
Currently, there are several categories of waste at Amyris – Solid waste (regular trash), biohazard
waste, sharps waste, radioactive waste, recyclable waste (papers, cardboard, beverage
containers), universal wastes (Ni-Cd batteries, fluorescent lamps), and hazardous waste.
1. Biological waste is handled through a Biowaste management program (See SOP00044 ref.
C) and is never to be stored with chemical wastes. If you have a mixture of chemical and
biological waste, it shall be treated as chemical waste.
a. Sharps waste includes but is not limited to needles, syringes, and razor blades.
These items must be collected in a rigid, puncture-resistant container such as a
“sharps container”. When filled, these containers are bagged and disposed of
along with the biohazard waste.
Amyris, Inc (HWMP SAF00008) Rev. C 3/1/2018 Page 5 of 19
2. Radioactive waste generated at Amyris is collected and stored on-site until collection and
then it is disposed as radioactive waste. It is handled under the Radiation Safety Program
(ref. D)
3. Hazardous waste streams include, but are not limited to, liquid flammable waste, liquid
aqueous/organic waste (high water content), aqueous acids, aqueous bases, solid
hazardous waste, and laboratory packages (lab packs).
a. Flammable solvents or fuels shall be segregated according to the amount of water
present. HPLC waste containing a large quantity of water will be kept separately
from higher BTU organic waste.
b. Flammable solvents contained in small vials or in sealed high throughput plates
may be disposed in flammable vial waste stream provided the volume of liquid is
low (~ 1 mL or approved by EHS).
c. Strong acids and bases shall be collected separately from all other waste streams
due to incompatibility with other chemicals.
d. Strong oxidizers and organic peroxides shall also be collected separately from all
other waste streams due to incompatibility with other chemicals.
e. Carcinogens and highly toxic chemicals shall be collected separately from other
waste streams. Scientists that have “P” or “U” listed chemicals for disposal need
to contact EHS (See ref. A).
f. Items such as polymerized gels, ion exchange resins, and phosphoramidites must
be containerized in a rigid container and labeled with a Hazardous Waste label.
g. Gloves, paper towels, glass pipettes and bench liners shall be disposed of as
hazardous waste if contaminated with hazardous chemicals. Glass is
segregated in hard walled bins for collection. If not contaminated, these items shall
be placed in regular lab trash or solid waste.
h. Lab packs are small containers of chemicals that do not fall into Amyris’ bulk
hazardous waste profiles. These could include off-spec chemicals, reagents that
are no longer needed, noxious odor chemicals, or reactive chemicals that are not
compatible or present a danger when aggregating. These are labeled and
collected individually.
4. Empty gas cylinders must be labeled as empty and collected via pick-up request. Cylinders
do not require secondary containment, however cylinders must be restrained appropriately
(with two chains) even if empty.
5. Non-toxic reagent or solvent bottles that may have been triple-rinsed and/or are container
drip dry shall be placed in the glass recycling containers. Remember to deface the chemical
label, remove the inventory barcode and indicate the container has been cleaned.
a. Empty reagent bottles that previously contained acutely or extremely hazardous
materials shall not be rinsed for recycling and will be collected and labeled as solid
hazardous waste.
Amyris, Inc (HWMP SAF00008) Rev. C 3/1/2018 Page 6 of 19
D. Hierarchy of Waste Classifications
1. Once you have decided the material is a waste, the waste must be identified. There are
different regulations that govern types of waste. The hierarchy of waste classifications is
an important step in determining the process for which waste is handled.
Radioactive
Radioactive + chemical = Radioactive Waste
Radioactive + biological = Radioactive Waste
Chemical
Chemical + biological = Hazardous Chemical Waste
Biological Biological + sharps= Biohazardous Waste
Regular trash Should contain NONE of the above.
2. California State law mandates that any chemical waste that is flammable, toxic, corrosive,
or reactive is considered a hazardous waste. Any opportunity to segregate wastes within
your work area will facilitate the removal of wastes. If you have a mixed waste, refer to the
appropriate program for disposal and/or contact EHS.
E. Non-hazardous Waste
1. If the material does not fall in one of the four categories for hazardous waste (see D.2
above), it still must pass an aquatic toxicity test to be considered non-hazardous.
2. There are very few chemicals at Amyris that are considered non-hazardous, thus the
majority of chemicals you work with will need to be handled as hazardous waste once you
have determined the material is a waste. When in doubt, assume it is a hazardous waste
and dispose of it accordingly. Check with EHS if you have any questions.
V. LABELING WASTE
A. Hazardous Waste Label
1. All hazardous chemical waste must be properly labeled. There are no exceptions to this
rule. Most regulatory citations received during inspections for hazardous waste are due to
absent or incorrectly filled out labels. Use the standard waste label provided by Amyris
(see Appendix C). In addition to the words “Hazardous Waste”, the required information
for labels is:
a. Accumulation date.
b. Generator information.
c. Chemical constituents
d. Physical state
e. Hazard category
B. Labeling Containers of Waste
1. Accumulation Date
Amyris, Inc (HWMP SAF00008) Rev. C 3/1/2018 Page 7 of 19
a. The accumulation date allows Amyris and regulatory agencies to track compliance
with disposal time limits. For Amyris, hazardous waste must be removed from the
site within 90 days from the accumulation date. The month, day and year must be
included on the waste label. Accumulation dates must
not be crossed out. For hazardous waste that is routinely picked up every week
from lab locations, these containers shall be labeled with “empty weekly”.
2. The regulations define the accumulation date as:
a. The date that a new container receives a drop of chemical waste, or
b. The date that a hazardous material container is emptied (see the Empty Container
Decision Chart to see if it needs to be managed as hazardous waste).
C. Generator Information and EPA Identification number
1. This section defines the Business and site address. Each site address or building should
have its own unique EPA identification number. Hazardous waste may not be transported
offsite unless there is an active EPA identification number for that site.
D. Chemical Name/Constituent
1. List the chemical name of each known constituent including water. You must write the
name in full, do not use formulas (e.g.CH2Cl2) or abbreviations (e.g. DCM). If the container
holds a mixture, list the percentage of each constituent or concentration (e.g. 20%
methylene chloride, 80% water).
E. Physical State
1. Information on physical state is legally required. The labels and forms need to be explicitly
marked. Check solid, liquid, or gas. If the waste is two-phase, check solid/liquid. Gas is
only used if compressed gasses are being disposed of.
F. Hazard Category
1. Check only one. Check the one that is the most hazardous, also known as the primary
hazard. Use your best judgment here. Options are corrosive, flammable, reactive, and toxic.
2. Since the generator has the most intimate knowledge about the work he/she is doing, it is
their responsibility to ensure the information is properly communicated on the container in
the form of a hazardous waste label.
Note: If any of the information on the label is incorrect please contact EHS.
G. Other References for Assisting in Identifying the Waste Name
1. Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
These chemical information sheets provide information such as hazard category. Some
chemicals may have more than one hazard category and the SDS will give the generator
information on the primary hazard. SDSs can be obtained by visiting MSDSOnline through
the Company Safety Intranet site.
Amyris, Inc (HWMP SAF00008) Rev. C 3/1/2018 Page 8 of 19
2. Safety Reviews/SOPs
For new procedures it is important to carry out a safety review and develop standard
operating procedures. Waste disposition is a part of process development and methods
for safe disposal of materials should be determined through the safety review and SOP
process prior to initiating the work.
VI. CONTAINMENT MANAGEMENT
A. Containment of Hazardous Chemical Waste
1. There are two main concerns about containing wastes: the primary/secondary container
compatibility and accumulation criteria.
a. Hazardous chemical waste can be either in Liquid or Solid form. The containers
will be dramatically different. Liquid waste should not be mixed with solids.
b. Examples of containers and labeling (see Appendix D).
2. It is the individual employee’s responsibility to have primary and secondary containers for
waste chemicals and to ensure the containers are in good condition and are compatible
with the wastes stored in them. In most cases, you can contact EHS to obtain such
containers. If the following criteria are met, almost any container with a proper closure will
work for storing chemical waste.
Container Criteria and Compatibility
Primary Containers Secondary Containers
Screw caps or lids are required Required for all wastes
May be open only when adding waste Solids: may use boxes and containers with
lids
Must not be rusty or compromised
(leaks)
If only one container of waste, the
secondary container must be able to hold
110% volume of the primary container
Beaker or flasks are not permitted
May use yellow or clear plastic bags for
solid hazardous waste solids
The yellow garbage-like cans are the
secondary container.
Container Compatibility Criteria
Waste must be compatible with:
The container,
Other wastes in the container (if any), and
Other wastes stored in the same secondary container (if any).
Put acids and mixtures of acids and metals and bases in separate primary and
secondary containers.
Do not put:
- Chemical waste in the biological waste containers or bags
- Strong solvents in plastic
- Strong acids in metal
- Broken glass in bags unless in a hard walled container.
Amyris, Inc (HWMP SAF00008) Rev. C 3/1/2018 Page 9 of 19
B. Chemical Waste Management in Your Laboratory
1. Waste must be stored in containers that are compatible with the waste. Generally, five
gallon containers or smaller are used.
2. It is advisable to set up a dedicated area within your labs where hazardous waste is
collected. This type of area is called a satellite accumulation area.
3. You cannot accumulate more than 55 gallons of hazardous waste or one (1) quart of any
single extremely or acutely hazardous waste in a satellite accumulation area. See EHS
department for list of extremely hazardous wastes.
4. All waste must be properly labeled as to its content (see Appendix C).
5. All hazardous waste containers must be dated with the date the chemical was first placed
in the container. The date will travel with the primary container.
6. All containers must be in secondary containment and closed when not in use.
7. Ensure that waste going into the container has proper characteristics according to the
waste profiles established.
8. Waste management practices in the labs are monitored with quarterly safety inspections.
C. Waste Storage Areas
1. Aisles must be present and clear so that all waste containers can be viewed.
2. All containers must be properly labeled and dated (See Appendix C).
3. Containers must be in good condition, not leaking, and closed when not being used.
4. Incompatible waste streams must be kept separate.
5. The area must be managed by personnel specifically trained to handle and transport
hazardous waste.
6. Requires documentation weekly that the secondary containment has been checked and
remains clear (Appendix E).
7. The maximum storage time for waste on-site is limited to 90 days.
D. Transferring Waste at Amyris
1. At least twice a week, EHS or Technician (contractor) will pick up hazardous waste in each
lab. Scientist should contact EHS if scheduled pick-ups do not happen. For these waste
streams, the staff member picking up the waste will replace each waste container with a
pre-labeled empty container.
2. For scientists that have an occasional waste or event-based waste, the generator will need
to request a pick-up. Contact EHS for pick-up. State your name and laboratory room
number, type of waste, quantity, and whether you will need a replacement container. For
these pick-up requests, the generator is responsible for working with EHS to properly
dispose of these wastes.
3. Likewise, if you fall under the blanket pick-up request and have a “new” waste that is not
the same profile as the scheduled pick-up, you will need to make a pick-up request.
E. Segregating Wastes at Amyris
1. Because the generator or scientist is most knowledgeable of the wastes created in the lab,
it is scientist’s responsibility to segregate the waste created into the proper waste streams.
Do not throw regular garbage such as paper into these containers. Hazardous waste
Amyris, Inc (HWMP SAF00008) Rev. C 3/1/2018 Page 10 of 19
disposal costs are high and Amyris is charged based on volume, type and weight of
hazardous waste.
2. It is important to understand and be clear on what constitutes the various waste categories.
For example, a waste misplaced in the solid waste (trash) could create a chemical exposure
hazard for our employees that are not trained to handle hazardous waste. Similarly,
misplaced sharps create a physical hazard. Improperly managed waste is a severe
violation of State laws and carries criminal liability.
3. Keep chemicals that are in-use separated from the waste collection areas.
4. If you have any doubt about the disposition of any waste, feel free to call EHS for guidance.
VII. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)/EMERGENCY RESPONSE
A. PPE
1. When disposing of any hazardous or biological waste, scientists should wear appropriate
PPE. As a minimum this would be a lab coat, safety glasses and compatible gloves in
regards to the waste. See PPE Plan and Policy (ref. E).
2. When bulking hazardous waste, an appropriate respirator shall be worn by certified users
addition to lab coat, eye protection and gloves if suitable engineering controls are not
available. See Respiratory Protection Plan (ref F) .
B. Emergency Clean-up Supplies
1. Emergency clean-up supplies such as spill pillows and neutralizers exist in emergency kits
found in the hallways of each building.
2. The equipment can be used in the clean-up of hazardous chemicals if you are trained.
C. Emergency Response
1. Employees may clean up incidental spills of hazardous waste provided they have been
trained in hazardous waste handling and spill cleanup.
2. If you are unsure of how to clean up the spill or it is an unknown, call the EH&S or the
Receptionist at x701 to locate EH&S or FRT, First Response Team.
3. Amyris First Responders shall aid in the cleanup of hazardous waste provided that the spill
does not involve the following high hazards unless they have received training per 29 CFR
1910.120:
a. High concentrations of toxic substances.
b. Situation that is life or injury threatening.
c. Imminent Danger to Life and Health (IDLH) environments.
d. Situation that presents an oxygen deficient atmosphere.
e. Condition that poses a fire or explosion hazard.
Amyris, Inc (HWMP SAF00008) Rev. C 3/1/2018 Page 11 of 19
f. Situation that required an evacuation of the area.
4. In the event of a large chemical spill which presents imminent danger to the employees
and public, call EHS immediately to dispatch the Decon Company. If you are unable to
reach EHS call the Decon Company directly (see posted Emergency contact information,
Appendix F).
VIII. HAZARDOUS WASTE MINIMIZATION
A. Annual Planning
Hazardous waste minimization is required for all employees who generate hazardous wastes. A
primary purpose of this management plan is to identify ways to reduce the volume and toxicity of
waste generated. EHS Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP) includes an annual
certification that hazardous waste generation has been minimized and the best available waste
management method has been selected. Amyris EHS will work with the end users to identify areas
where hazardous waste may be reduced and specific methods (See Appendix G for Waste
Minimization Methods). The following guidelines serve as a starting point for establishing a waste
minimization methods.
• Source Reduction; purchase only what is needed, check chemical inventory before
ordering and rotate stocks before shelf-life expires.
• Substitute non-hazardous or less toxic materials in chemical processes, experiments, and
maintenance operations.
• Review and modify processes to minimize amount of waste generated. Recycle byproducts streams, samples for analysis and empty glass or plastic containers where possible.
• Select equipment not only for task, but potential for failure, accident, or other occurrences
that could result in release of hazardous materials.
• Isolate wastes from various steps to allow more treatment options and prevent
crosscontamination.
Waste handling and minimization shall be addressed at the start of new processes using
hazardous materials through a process hazard analysis.
IX. RECORDKEEPING
A. All training records should be kept for that person’s employment plus 3 years
B. All inspection reports and corrections should be kept for 2 years
C. All waste manifests should be kept for at least 3 years from date of generation
D. All other regulatory reports when applicable such as fees, generator reports, and biannual report
will be kept for at least 5 years from date of generation.

APPENDIX A
HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATOR CODE OF CONDUCT
Do not pour any amount of hazardous material/waste down the drain.
Pour hazardous waste into the appropriately labeled hazardous waste container.
Containers of liquid/solid hazardous waste must be labeled with the composition, appropriate
chemical hazard and physical state.
Hazardous waste containers must be dated with the day that the first drop of waste was put into the
container. Date should change after each pickup unless they are identified as emptied weekly.
Hazardous waste must be shipped offsite within 90 days of the accumulation start date.
Do not mix incompatible waste together nor MIX liquid and solid hazardous waste together
Keep hazardous waste in the designated accumulation areas and separate from in-process
samples.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when pouring hazardous waste into containers.
Hazardous waste is picked up weekly from the lab accumulation areas. If hazardous waste
containers become >3/4 full, contact EHS.
All hazardous waste containers must be closed when not in use (funnels must be latched).
All hazardous waste containers need to be double-contained, such as using a pan or a tub to
capture any spills.
Check hazardous waste containers daily to insure that there is no leakage and that they are not
overfilled.
Clean up any small spills immediately if you are able to do so without help. But if the spill is large
and requires assistance, isolate the area and call for help (x4800).
