Hazardous Waste Generator ID

Hazardous Waste Generator ID

A Hazardous Waste Generator ID (HWG ID) is a regulatory requirement issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB) for facilities that generate hazardous wastes. It ensures compliance with Republic Act 6969 – Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act of 1990.

As a professional environmental consultant, we help businesses secure their HWG ID quickly while ensuring full DENR compliance, avoiding fines, and streamlining hazardous waste management.
