Abstract: In some embodiments, a system may include an item sorter device. The item sorter device may include at least one optical device configured to capture optical data associated with a waste product, a display, and a processor coupled to the at least one optical device and to the display. The processor may be configured to automatically extract universal product code (UPC) data from the optical data, search one or more data sources based on the UPC data to determine a match, determine a bin of a plurality of bins for storage of the waste product based on the match and based on site-specific classification rules, and provide a graphical interface to the display indicating the determined bin.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices provide source-to-destination tracking of hazardous waste products. The systems, methods, and devices operate in conjunction with printed Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (UHWM) forms by printing the forms and then allowing the user to scan the signed UHWM forms into the system. The systems, methods and devices may provide a UHWM electronic form that includes a signature field to receive a digital signature. When waste products are to be transported, a user may sign the UHWM form either digitally or on the printed UHWM form. Each time the waste products exchange hands, from source to destination, a responsible party signs the UHWM form to append his or her signature. Variations between previously submitted and the current version of the UHWM form may be determined from the electronic form or from scanned versions of the printed form and differences may cause the system to generate an alert.

Abstract: A system may receive product information associated with a product and may automatically determine regulatory classifications and business logic classifications for the product based on the product information. The system may determine fundamental attributes of a product based on received product information by searching one or more data sources. The fundamental attributes may include chemical composition data. The system may apply a plurality of logic classifications to the product information and the fundamental attributes to determine regulatory classifications and business logic classifications for the product. The system may provide an output including one or more of the product information, the regulatory classifications, and the business logic classifications. In one implementation, the system may retrieve a safety data sheet (SDS) and compare the determined values to values of the SDS to detect errors in the SDS.
