The Challenge‍

Prior to the implementation of Chemishield, waste management was a paper laden process that relied heavily on manual entry and subsequent transfer of waste data into a spreadsheet. This was a time consuming process.

‍
Additionally, waste segregation posed additional challenges such as waste streams becoming contaminated leading to increased disposal costs and potential safety/environmental issues.

Why Chemishield?

Chemishield was presented to us as a solution to allow us digitally transform this process. We use Chemishield daily on our mobile devices to log and label waste.

This process takes us seconds, allowing us to spend time on other activities that require attention. Chemishield ensures correct segregation of waste and has built in prompts/alerts to ensure that waste streams remain fully segregated. This has allowed us to unlock so many benefits; increased safety, enhanced efficiencies, all waste data in one location, removing paper and spreadsheets, viewing waste levels in real time allowing for optimized scheduling and collection of waste. It truly has been transformative.
