Publication number: 20200372457Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2020Publication date: November 26, 2020Applicant: Waste Repurposing International, Inc.Inventor: Christopher Barnard Ripley
